The Voyage of the Dawn Treader held its world premiere on November 30, 2010 in London at the Royal Film Performance* in Leicester Square. It was the first time the Royal Film Performance was screened in Digital 3-D and the second time a Narnia film premiered at the event, the first being The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe in 2005. The premiere was attended by various personalities, including Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
*The Royal Film Performance is a charity performance of a British film which is attended by members of the British Royal Family. The proceeds from the evening's entertainment are donated to the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund, a charity which offers financial support to people from the film, cinema and television who encounter accident, illness, bereavement or unemployment.
The tradition was started with A Matter of Life and Death in 1946 and has continued every year since then.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Sasha Vujacic says he's engaged to marry Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova.
"We are engaged and are both really happy," Vujacic said Thursday night before the Lakers' exhibition game against Golden State. "It's good and now we can focus on other things."
The agent for three-time Grand Slam champion Sharapova confirmed the news in an e-mail to The Associated Press.
Vujacic said he proposed on the one-year anniversary of their first meeting at a friend's barbecue.
"It's was probably old school," Vujacic said. "I had to do it like a gentlemen."
The Slovenian guard returned to action Thursday, a week after getting a concussion when teammate Lamar Odom accidentally elbowed him in the face during practice. Vujacic averaged 2.8 points and 1.2 rebounds in 67 games for the Lakers last season, his sixth with the club.
Sharapova won her first major title at Wimbledon in 2004, when she was 17. She went on to win the 2006 U.S. Open and 2008 Australian Open and also reached No. 1 in the WTA rankings.
After shoulder surgery and an elbow injury forced her to miss time the past two seasons, Sharapova is currently ranked 18th.
Maria Sharapova holds the women's US Open trophy at the tennis tournament in New York in 2006. Sharapova defeated Belgium's Justine Henin-Hardenne 6-4, 6-4.

Schwarzenegger is leading a delegation of top Silicon Valley executives and venture capitalists to Russia to discuss investment opportunities in Russia's high-tech sector. The trip includes a stop at Skolkovo, the site of the high-tech research hub Russia is creating near Moscow.
The center has been dubbed Russia's Silicon Valley and Medvedev is keen to bring in U.S. know-how to spark the project.
He has made modernization the center of his economic policy agenda and visited Silicon Valley during his visit to the United States in June.
The president also met the California governor during the trip.
As well as exchanging tweets, the president and the governor started following each other on Twitter.
Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has become another man who has fallen into the charms of breath-taking beauty of Russian ladies. Tabloids actively discuss Ronaldo’s love affair with Russian model Irina Sheik.
Born as Irina Sheikhlislamova, the girl spent her childhood in a tiny apartment in the town of Emanzhelinsk, in the Chelyabinsk region of Russia.
Irina was born to become a fashion model. She went to a local agency in Chelyabinsk in 2004. The agency was not impressed with her body and face. The same year Irina won a regional beauty pageant and went to Moscow. Afterwards, she traveled to New York and Paris.
Irina Sheik has been on the catwalk for Guess, Lacoste, Missoni and La Perla. She was a lingerie model for Intimisimi and appeared on the covers of fashion magazines. Now the model works with Armani: she met Ronaldo when shooting a commercial for this fashion house.
Before her acquaintance to Ronaldo she was in a relationship with Linkin Park rock band drummer Rob Bourdon.
People don't have fortunes left them in that style nowadays; men have to work and women to marry for money. It's a dreadfully unjust world.
