James Cameron’s epic romance will hit the big screen again, 25 years after it first set box office records.
“Titanic,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as ill-fated lovers aboard the famed ship, held the number one box office spot for 15 straight weeks after its release in late 1997. It eventually became the highest-grossing film of all time, with $2.2 billion worldwide. That record was finally broken in 2009 with Cameron’s “Avatar.”
In addition to setting box office records, the film won a record-tying 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture. “Ben-Hur” is the only other film to win that many Oscars in a single year.
To celebrate its 25th anniversary, the film will be screened in 3D 4K HDR with high-frame rate beginning February 10, 2023. In addition to this restored version of the film, overseen by Cameron, to celebrate its rerelease, there is a new trailer and poster.
Showtimes in North Dakota will be announced soon.
