Percy Jackson Movies: Release Order

2010 - 20132 Films3h 44m3.3 Average

The Percy Jackson movie series consists of two feature films that follow Percy's journey from discovering his demigod status to becoming a seasoned hero. Originally planned as a five-film adaptation of Rick Riordan's popular book series, the franchise concluded after these two entries, creating a complete but abbreviated story arc.

This watch order presents both films in their release sequence, which matches the chronological story progression. Note that a separate Disney+ series launched in 2023 as a complete reboot with no connection to these films, offering a different interpretation of the same source material.
