The one credit I will give Pirates in this debate, since it seems to be getting no love, is the fact that it has Disney in it's corner.
The Pirates films, especially the Jack Sparrow character, will stay alive and probably household names simply because they're part of the Disney family. From being part of a classic ride, theme parks, and the Disney legend it will stick around.
I give the Pirates sequels a lot of shit, but I do recognize the first as a semi-classic in the making. It's certainly the greatest live action Disney film to date, and will remain a household name because of it's distributor and owner.
