The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian received nominations at the Young Artist Awards. In 2010, Mark Johnson, a producer from all of the "Narnia" movies, admitted that "We made some mistakes with "Prince Caspian" and I don't want to make them again." He also said "Caspian" lacked some of the "wonder and magic of Narnia," was "a little bit too rough" for families, and too much of a "boys' action movie." When released on May 16 in the United States and Canada, the film grossed $55 million from 8,400 screens at 3,929 theaters in its opening weekend, ranking #1 at the box office. Disney said it
