>When the Shawshank Redemption was released in cinemas it bombed,

That's called bad marketing.  The ads for it sucked.  No one wants to see a movie with sucky ads.

>it wasn't until people discovered it on video rental that its popularity took off.

That's called word of mouth.  Wow, that movie didn't suck like the ads made it look!  Amazing!

>Charlies Angels 2 made a pretty hufty sum at the box-office even though it was one of the crapist films in years.

CA2 had something called good marketing.  Obviously they got their message across and lots of people wanted to see it.  Obviously it did well despite your standards because in that case your standards obviously aren't representative of the movie going public.

I know!  Let's go throw our money away and see a movie that's been in the theater for 10 weeks that we know everyone hates and no one wants to see!

>Your argument that only good films make money is wrong.

Your definition of good is only in your mind.  Get used to it.
