James Cameron ended 2022 with one hell of a bang. Despite people thinking his “Avatar” sequel, ‘The Way of Water,’ would be a bomb, the film was released and has been doing incredible business on its way to $2 billion+ at the global box office. Now, as we enter 2023, we are here to celebrate the 25th anniversary of one of Cameron’s greatest achievements, “Titanic.”
With its 25th Anniversary this year, Paramount is set to re-release James Cameron’s Oscar-winning epic, “Titanic,” on the big screen one more time. As you might expect, it’s not just a simple re-release of the theatrical version of the film. No, sir. You see, this is James Cameron we’re talking about, so the 25th Anniversary release of the film is going to sport a 3D 4K HDR and high-frame-rate transfer of the film.
Released in 1997, “Titanic” was a massive success, breaking box office records left and right. The film helped solidify Leonardo DiCaprio as one of the biggest stars on the planet, and it served as a massive breakout project for young Kate Winslet. The film would go on to win 11 Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director. And obviously, 25 years later, the film is still beloved among film fans, especially those who used to rewatch the epic on two VHS tapes when it first hit home video.
“Titanic” is expected to arrive in theaters on February 10. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, for those people who are looking to spend 3+ hours in a dark theater with a special someone, while also bawling your eyes out.
