Sure, sure. How come Never Ending Story did so well??? Let's not even mention Pearl Harbour.

Well, here in germany only the first two NES films did well (and the second only did well because people thought it would be like the first film, I remember a lot of disappointed faces _after_ the screening), the third film flopped. When it comes down to pearl harbour, I suppose it was mostly because there wasn't any decent film dealing with that topic - when you compare it to the older pearl harbour themed films, it's still the 'best' (as far as I remember) although I myself wouldn't watch it a second time.

But you do have a point. There are 'bad' movies that do well in the box office nonetheless.
