The first installment in the film series, entitled “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”, was released on 9 December 2005, directed by Andrew Adamson and also starring Tilda Swinton and James McAvoy. Due to the popularity of the original novel series, the movie adaptations of the books were long-awaited, and “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” became the third most successful film of the year, grossing more than $745 million at the box office, plus over $332 million in revenue from DVD sales.
