True, But the movies don't really Attract that much attention. It looks like the movies are more attractive than the movies, but it really isn't. One of the reasons people watch those movies is because of the books. If the books are really good, people are interested in watching them. But sadly, the majority of the movies are horrible compared to the books. There are some movies that are better than the books, but very few.

Look at Percy Jackson. A person who never read the books and watches the movie will say" That movie was awesome!" But once he reads the series, he'll realize the movies weren't so good. That could be with the Hunger games and Harry Potter. Maybe there is a big audience that never read the books, but watches the movies.

Once they read the books, they realize that the movies didn't do so well. And one of the main reasons the movies are so successful are because they finally see the book in real life. Look at the Hunger games, I read the first book.(and it was really boring) When I watched the Movie, It turned out to be much better than the book.

Why ? Maybe it's because we finally see it in real life ? I honestly don't know. The point is, even though the Percy Jackson movies were horrible( I found the First one okay, but the second one horrible)that doesn't mean Percy Jackson should be below the list in popularity. The books are much better than the movies. The reason why I wanted to watch the movies was: The battles, Percy using his Powers. That's it Basically. That Character were not how I imagined it. The pot was Horrible. The character were older etc.The Books in reality are more attractive than the movies. But because the movies are in real life makes it better ? Look at Percy Jackson. The movies are horrible. Divergent. Boring(overall it was okay, but I expected it to be much better) Hunger games. Good, but it wasn't so good either. Diary of a wimpy kid. Okay, but I didn't like the movie so much either.

The Point is, Just because it's a movie doesn't mean it will be more popular than before. And about Books, Percy Jackson isn't a popular series. Not compared to other series. There is a bunch of series that are more popular, and series that sold more books than Percy Jackson.Check the Internet. It's insane that Percy Jackson isn't so popular(in Books). Percy Jackson is better than the majority of the series today. And better written.
