I like Titanic

[dark_b]

so i guess Cameron prooved again that if you have time the 3D will look good?

you can not have a good 3D conversion in lessthen 12 months. 3 or 6 months hahah? joke.

 

[jacobed]

I thought the 3d in this movie was absolutely non exsistant

 

[LuvSupes]

It made it to 2 billion on it's anniversary, amazing number for Titanic!

Nice.

I finally saw it in 3D and when James Cameron said the conversion on this was the closest to the real thing, he meant it. It looks fantastic.

How so? I thought the 3D added alot of depth to quite a few scenes.

I wonder how much of the interest in the ship and the sinking(esp. this year for the 100th anniversary)was due to the 1997 film? I've noticed alot of specials and films on about the subject this weekend. While very fascinating and a horrible tragedy,you never really heard much about it untill Cameron's film was released.

The second week of its re-release has held very well. Only a 42% decline -- $11M versus its opening weekend of $17M. Word of mouth is definitely good for the 3D conversion.

I think it'll hold on for two more weeks before it relinquishes those 3D screens for The Avengers. And judging by the numbers, it looks to close with a healthy $60M-$70M -- not bad if you count the $18M conversion budget.

I've read about young people who admitted on Twitter that they didn't know it happened in real life. What do they learn in school these days?

Im not gonna like it bothers me that people dont even know the Titanic sinking was actually real.
But im sure a lot of the Titanic programing on tv does have to do with the 100 year anniversary.

Im not sure if people were joking but after Inglorious Basterds some people were saying thats how it went down I read in an article.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Saw this yesterday, I thought the 3D conversion looked excellent. Still love this movie after all these years.

 

[Frosty81]

I saw it yesterday, oblivious to the fact that it was the anniversary of the sinking (not uneducated, just had my days wrong.) I have to say, I thought it was a phenomenal movie already but the 3D was so subtle and unobtrusive that I understand Cameron's passion for it. Also, I had never watched the movie in a single sitting before but thought that the pacing of the story was surprisingly well done for a movie of such length.

All of that said, we saw the Prometheus trailer in 3D before the movie started...the entire time I was wondering how a Cameron-level quality, post conversion of Blade Runner would look...

 

[Kane52630]

Yeah I was surprised how fast the film went with a 3 hour runtime.

 

[mclay18]

Titanic re-release grosses nearly $200M, pushes it over the $2B mark.

A significant chunk of that moola came from China, where it grossed $67M since it came out last Tuesday. Wow... this is the most profitable re-release for Paramount and Fox. Wouldn't be surprised to see more films get the 3D re-release treatment.

 

[Kane52630]

I hope this gives Cameron the green light to do a Terminator 2 3D rerelease.

Why am I not surprised by this? Jeez.

Titanic was my first 3D movie and it might be my last. I dont know if it was because it wasn't initially meant for 3D or what, but it was very underwhelming. I remember just random things being in "3D" instead of the good stuff. Also hardly anything jumped out of the screen, the picture just appeared more HD than 3D. The previews were more amazing in 3D than the actual movie.
Apart from that, I of course loved the movie as always and like I said I came home and watched it on DVD, but with the commentary. Just had to throw that in so you won't think I am that crazy.

Cameoron was smart to for realese Titanic in 3D: its a movie that the whole world wants to see again and its 100 years. T2 will not make a lot money. but by then we the fans will get them.

you of course have George Lucas who said that EP1 will be the first 3D movie. and now what? now the chances are so small that i dont know if we will get to the first trilogy. yes EP1 3D made some money. but not enough

Titanic Topples Toy Story 3 at UK Box Office

James Cameron now has the number one and two films in the all-time UK chart.

James Cameron's Titanic has surpassed Toy Story 3 at the UK box office, becoming the second most successful film of all-time.

Titanic returned to cinemas in 3D form on April 6th, and proving that we're still suckers for the Jack and Rose love story - as well as the site of thousands of people drowning - it's been a huge hit all over again.

It brings Titanic into line with the global box office, where it also appears at number two in the all-time chart.

The film that sits atop both lists is another James Cameron film in the shape of Avatar, which has grossed a grand total of $2.78bn worldwide.

 

[mclay18]

Well, Paramount already has the movie up for preorder. 2-disc DVD, 5-disc Blu-ray 3D set, and 5-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo pack.

They come out September 14th. That's a bit long.

 

[:eek:]

Titanic 3D led the way this weekend with an incredible $98.9 million, which brought its foreign total to $157.1 million (a new record for a 3D re-release). Over two-thirds of that gross came in China, where Titanic 3D has amassed an incredible $67 million since debuting there on Tuesday. According to Fox, that tops last Summer's Transformers: Dark of the Moon ($56 million) for highest opening ever in China. It's also more than Titanic made in its entire 1998 run ($44 million), which pretty clearly demonstrates the extent to which the Chinese market has expanded in the past decade.

Curious what the numbers would have been if it wasn't for the Hunger Games.

It's also kinda telling that domestic wise, only opened in 3rd. Titanic isn't going to touch Lion King's domestic numbers and just about equaling the Phantom Menace and Beauty and the Beast 3D.

 

[Venom75]

I'd actually love to see a 3D movie of the dive to the wreck itself.

 

[danoyse]

My favorite memory of Titanic, back when the movie first came out, was the time I saw a guy in Times Square try to sell a $5 VHS bootleg of the movie to Victor Garber, who was doing a play on Broadway at the time.

It's also kinda telling that domestic wise, only opened in 3rd. Titanic isn't going to touch Lion King's domestic numbers and just about equaling the Phantom Menace and Beauty and the Beast 3D.

It's holding a LOT better than those two. It'll end up grossing $10M-$15M more than those have, once all is said and done. That said, I do find it puzzling that it's not going to top TLK's re-release gross domestically, let alone come close to equaling it. But it's holding well, and it's already made back the money Paramount and Fox spent on converting and re-releasing it.

But if you look at it from a worldwide perspective, Titanic 3D won hand over fist -- over $200M and counting, versus TLK's $178M.

...It's also kinda telling that domestic wise, only opened in 3rd. Titanic isn't going to touch Lion King's domestic numbers...

I don't know if it's that telling. The Lion King is a family-friendly film aimed at children and lacking a 3-hour run time that likely scares the bejeezus out of parents.

Remember, Titanic wasn't a beast at the box office because families flocked to it but because teenage girls were going ape-s**t over a non-threatening-and-nearly-pretty-enough-to-be-a-woman Leonado DiCaprio, and those crazy hormonal sumb*tches swarmed theaters for months on end to see it.

I wouldn't expect a 3 hour-long re-release with heavy adult themes and a rather depressing third act for kids to do the same business as Lion King (and yeah, the fact that teen girls are now fixed on the Hunger Games doesn't help).
