The sequel to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief comes out on March 26, 2013 in the United States.

Storyline:
After a summer spent trying to prevent a catastrophic war among the Greek gods, Percy Jackson finds his seventh-grade school year unnervingly quiet. His biggest problem is dealing with his new friend, Tyson—a six-foot-three, mentally challenged homeless kid who follows Percy everywhere, making it hard for Percy to have any “normal” friends.

But things don’t stay quiet for long. Percy soon discovers there is trouble at Camp Half-Blood: the magical borders which protect Half-Blood Hill have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and the only safe haven for demigods is on the verge of being overrun by mythological monsters. To save the camp, Percy needs the help of his best friend, Grover, who has been taken prisoner by the Cyclops Polyphemus on an island somewhere in the Sea of Monsters, the dangerous waters Greek heroes have sailed for millennia—only today, the Sea of Monsters goes by a new name…the Bermuda Triangle.

Now Percy and his friends—Grover, Annabeth, and Tyson—must retrieve the Golden Fleece from the Island of the Cyclopes by the end of the summer or Camp Half-Blood will be destroyed. But first, Percy will learn a stunning new secret about his family—one that makes him question whether being claimed as Poseidon’s son is an honor or simply a cruel joke.

Uh, sorry, but that's not how it works. If your topic is lacking in details and/or discussion, it will be locked. I recommend that you beef up your post, especially since it's for a movie that won't be out for another year.

Tell me the general story/plot!

I enjoyed this book series but i never expected a movie to be made out of it. I didnt even know there was a second movie till i saw it here. I just assumed the first movie flopped and they werent making any more.

Isn't this like a kids movie and a knock-off of Harry Potter?

That's what I thought, too...except I thought that the material was much much younger.

The series was great when I read it in middle school. The movie (based on the first book) wasn't good. Hopefully they'll do a better job with the second.

How long ago did you read it? I was under the impression that the series is newer than Harry Potter, but then again I don't know how old you are.

I tried watching the first Percy Jackson movie, but after taking a Greek Mythology class this semester, I turned it off after 10 minutes.

I read the first book around 2007-2008. According to Wikipedia it was published in 2005, so yeah, it isn't as old as Harry Potter, but it's still been quite a few years.
