At first you would have one here and there, but then Twilight started bringing in the big bucks so then every movie studio started grabbing anything they could find. This was also right after the Harry Potter movies had just ended so everyone was looking for the next Harry Potter, or at least something close enough to Harry Potter that people would pay money for.

However now we have a ton of "Young Adult Books into Movies" and only The Hunger Games seem to be making money. Pretty soon movie companies are going to move on to something else which will be the next big thing for a year or two. Now you may say that:

"Everything goes in cycles and in another ten years, Young Adult books will once again be turned into movies and we will get a good PJO movie."

Problem is that by the time that happens, there will be tons of other YA books out and because they are fresh and new, studios will make them as fast as they can while they are still at the front of everyone's mind. They may also look back at the failures of the PJO movie series and decide it isn't worth a try. I agree with you completely.
