Prince Caspian has hit the magic number that makes it a definite blockbuster. It has made over $200 Million worldwide. At only $125 million in the domestic US, it’s not very close to the box office, but it has made enough to cover production costs, and still hasn’t been released in Europe.
This is not to mention the potential DVD and Blu-ray Disc sales when the film releases in December (rumored). And for those of you that have been wondering, there is nothing yet mentioned about a possible Prince Caspian: Extended Edition. The sequences in the film are pretty much as is. They didn’t cut too much that was in the script.

I purchased the Narnia 4-disc special Edition, and I read on here about calling Disney to receive the Companion Guide, so I called, and I just thought I’d let you know that for Canada, you only need to press 1 then let them know your mailing address and where you bought the DVD. I thought you may want to add this for any fans from Canada.
Disney DVDs normal business hours are Monday 9:30am-7:30pm and Tuesday thru Friday 9:30am-6:30pm CST.
