The film had the lovey dovey stuff for the girls, the special effects, the villain, the historical scenes underwater w/ actual footage of the wreck, it was semi-educational, ppl complain of dialogue but it wasn't too "thinky" to where it goes over 9 year olds head, it was just the right amount of suspense to make you wonder even tho' you know the ship was gonna sink...that it wasn't. And you get to see how it sank which was interesting to see Yeah Titanic was a great film , I mean no other historical movie had the right blend of “everything” .

But I guess 28 million was actually a lot considering the fact that ticket prices back then were about 5 bucks.

But just so everyone knows, I'm not knocking Titanic because of TDK. I've just never thought it was a good movie (I don't think it's horrible, it's watchable, but certainly not as good as what it was being hyped years ago). It's the kind of movie that I like watching to make fun of it. A Better Class of Criminal, that’s fine if you like Titanic. But just so everyone knows, I’m not knocking Titanic because of TDK.

I'm guessing that fans of the movie would be lining up again to see the film one more time, with a huge 2 week haul. Rerelease it again around Christmas with some additional footage after the credits.

Well, we now know that worse case scenario, it'll be the number 2 biggest grossing film of all time! Does "TDK" have enough steam to real in another $200 mill through its legs?? Because now will be the hard part. Also, "Express" and "Thunder" are both coming out on Wednesdays and are both R-rated comedies, so their opening weekends shouldn't necessarily impact "TDK" negatively to the point where it loses its buzz too much.

It sucked and it sucked and I saw it when I was 13ish so I was the prime demo--a 13yr old girl, and I still hated it. I hope to almighty ALLAH this film assrapes Titanic.
