I think that Antonio Bandera, like The 13th Warrior movie, are underrated. Investors want to see profit and unfortunately the movie didn’t deliver at the box office.
Disney sold off rights to this film in a few foreign territories, as well as Spike Lee’s “He Got Game” and “Summer of Sam.” They owned a company called Buena Vista Film Sales from 1997-2000 whose sole purpose was to license overseas rights to some films made by Disney or third-parties. This goes to show you that even in 1997, Disney wanted to be more competitive in the entertainment spectrum.
