That is why it is not making any money. It has only made 130 million and it cost 215 million to make. It will tank and end up costing the companies that made it go in the red.

"It has only made 130 million and it cost 215 million to make. It will tank and end up costing the companies that made it go in the red."Huh?? It's grossed $153,800,000 in the US alone, $229,660,000. Total cost, including production and advertizing was about $211,000. It's paid for itself. Not by much, but it's not going into the red.

I found no affinity, much less any sympathy, with the main characters.
Lucy- Liked the best but a little too precocious and they made her a little too sweet...since they later turn her into a rampaging Ork killing warrior. For that she needed an edge they never gave her.
Susan - Buzzkiller. She'll be replacing Tilda Swinson as Ice Witch in the next installment.
Edmund - Snotty brat. After he sees what the witch did to fawn boy he still goes to her castle for some Krispy Creme. At this point one would conclude he was irredeemable...but they try to redeem him anyway.
Peter - Too feminine. I like to think of my heroes as manly...not ask them to do interior design work.

Narnia isn't doing that bad. It has made $163,544,000 , #10 Box Office in 2005 , and has pretty good legs, making $30 million last weekend, its third. Its production budget was $180 million, not $215 M.
It has made 23 times what the homo cowboy movie has done.
