Even if critics slammed the film as a dud, Pearl Harbor managed to capture the record as the second-highest grossing film for a four-day opening, taking in a healthy $75.1 million box office during the Memorial Day weekend. Industry experts had estimated a $100 million opening, but Disney predicted that the three-hour epic would gross between $45 million and $55 million.
The No. 1 spot is still held by The Lost World: Jurassic Park, which earned $92.7 million during the 1997 Memorial Day weekend. In comparison, other films in this Memorial Day league that came close to World were Mission Impossible 2's $56.8 million in 2000 and Star Wars: Episode I's $64.8 in 1999. Even the recently released The Mummy Returns gave these films a run for its money, opening with $68 million--on a regular three-day weekend.

Though Disney chairman Michael Eisner prevented Pearl Harbor from having a hefty, oversized, dinosaur-big budget, there's nothing to stop the World War II epic from breaking The Lost World: Jurassic Park's opening weekend box office record.
The Jurassic Park sequel holds the record for an opening weekend, earning $90.2 million upon its 1997 release.

Disney has reedited Pearl Harbor for its Japanese and German releases in order not to offend America's World War II enemies, the British tabloid The Sun said Tuesday.
