Titanic

The Avatar sequel now ranks as the No. 3 film of all time. James Cameron directed both blockbusters.

And even if [Avatar 2](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t/avatar-2/) has been beating Titanic, the 1997 film has been showing remarkable staying power.

Cast members Rosé and Russell Daniels talk with Them about the deeply queer, Céline Dion-obsessed production.

Aside from being deeply funny, the show, which focuses on the Jack/Rose romance, is also intrinsically queer. With that venue change came a new cast and, as of February, RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Rosé (Ross McCorkell) has officially joined the cast, which already includes several queer actors and creatives. In our cultural imagination, it can be hard to separate the film Titanic from the woman who belted its anthemic song, “My Heart Will Go On,” the inimitable Céline Dion.

Maybe the audience hunger for this sort of storytelling was already filled — and refilled with repeat viewing — of Avatar: The Way of Water. And if you venture out to theaters this weekend, please remember to mask up — there’s still a pandemic, and we’re still all in this together, so help protect those with compromised immune systems or who might otherwise be at risk of severe health outcomes from infection with Covid, flu, or other illnesses. The press and much of cinema fandom seemed eager to witness a big flop as proof of the widely repeated but false notion that Avatar was somehow not really all that important or lasting as an influence on film or culture. But Marvel’s latest sequel came in far below everyone’s estimates, with a major shortfall in the Middle Kingdom and other markets typically crucial to the MCU’s success. Avatar: The Way of Water now sits at $2.2444 billion, compared to Titanic's $2.2431 billion. This has been a long winter season of broken records and surpassed expectations for Avatar: The Way of Water.

Avatar: The Way Of Water saw some unforeseen competition for a spot among the most successful films ever.

[Avatar 2 will make it to streaming](https://gamerant.com/avatar-the-way-of-water-james-cameron-disses-streaming/) as James Cameron has mixed feelings about that medium, but considering Disney Plus' ongoing transformation as far as Marvel and Star Wars are concerned bringing over a blockbuster like The Way of Water should only be a matter of time. That means only Avengers: Endgame and the first Avatar film now stand above The Way of Water, thus cementing Cameron as the undisputed box office king. [Avatar](https://gamerant.com/tag/avatar/) sequel has been out since mid-December, slowly climbing the ranks of films earning the most revenue ever, Cameron’s sci-fi epic ran into a few obstacles, namely Titanic being rereleased this very month.

The dedication to the preservation and memorialization of the Titanic and its history is phenomenal.

The dedication to the preservation and memorialization of the Titanic and its history is phenomenal. Plus, music from the soundtrack of Cameron’s “Titanic” plays in the background on some of the stops. This is a perfect day out for the family, Titanic aficionados and lovers of history. The penultimate display showed Robert Ballard’s discovery of the Titanic’s wreckage in snapshots, audio snippets and a model of the ship when it was recovered the first time. The expansive rooms that told the true story of the Titanic’s final night were highlighted by a variety of models, memorials and clothing worn by survivors as they fled to the lifeboats. The final room was the solemnest of all. Imagine seeing the necklace that inspired the “Heart of the Ocean” in James Cameron’s “Titanic” sitting right in front of you. For me, however, the most human (and heartbreaking) thing to see was the seemingly endless amount of postcards and letters and diary entries. I replayed it a couple of times on the audio device given to me by a friendly employee as I circled a detailed replica of the ship. The stories and belongings of the passengers are persistently rattling around in my head, even now. Printed on the far wall is a quote from the captain of the Carpathia, Arthur Rostron, who rescued the surviving 712 Titanic passengers. — My skin erupted in goosebumps as I heard, for the very first time, the voice of the Titanic: A deep, throaty horn that lingered in my ears.
