I mean the people that made the movie got the rights before the book came out. All they would know is that the gods exist in modern times and that Percy was a son of the sea god and was blamed for stealing the master bolt. Most similarities between the book and the movie ends there. I'll watch the movie as a sequal to the movie and not as an adaptation of the book.
