This film was met with similar criticisms. Despite this, however, The Lightning Thief was enough of a box-office success to warrant a sequel film in 2013, called Sea of Monsters. Riordan has famously mentioned that he has never seen the Percy Jackson films, and in March 2016, he wrote an open letter to school teachers asking them not to show them to students in class. The film was poorly received by fans and critics alike, who said it deviated far too much from Riordan's original novel - and, in fact, the author had little-to-no hand in the creative decision-making. The first adaptation of Percy Jackson came in 2010, with a film version of The Lightning Thief starring Logan Lerman. With the immense popularity of the Percy Jackson books, it was only a matter of time before Riordan's world was brought to the screen.
