Facts are a wonderful thing.
It grossed $11.2 million on its opening weekend. NOT $900,000.
That was quoted in the local press- not my fault.

Perhaps Gary Barber could recoup his monies by spending the next $100 million through Green-lighting the restorations of 20-30 already established hit films that are hidden away within his vaults.[...] The film cost $100 million to make. The Los Angeles Times have already called it one of the biggest flops of the summer.
A 1,000 years? But I thought it all took place in 1959.Sorry, the statute of limitations on spoilers is set at 1000 years. This one is WAY in the clear.
Damn it, you guys did it to me again. I just got around to purchasing "Titanic" on a blind buy; but haven't had the time to see it.I was just going to say LOL...then I remembered talking to two individuals (both in their 20s) back when Titanic came out.
I said something about how I couldn't wait for the ship to sink. "What??? Whaddaya mean it sinks??? WHY did you tell us that?!?!" True story. (And people wonder why the country's in trouble.)
Or: "Ben-Him"...or even..."Ben-There, Done That".Well, I guess the silver lining with this flop is that it will be another 50+ years before Hollywood decides to "bless" the movie going public with yet another remake of this story. Imagine if this had been successful. We would have been hearing about a sequel with some name like Ben-Hur2: Back in the Chariot Again, given Hollywood today.
Finally, someone at MGM is getting a taste of their own Vinegar.It's been retitled as BEN-FLOP
Well I'm seeing it today. Most of the negative comments in this thread are from people who haven't seen it. The two that have seen it I believe liked it.
So I'll make up my own mind today.
Even if the movie is lousy, at least you'll be seeing it on a big screen. That will have to help it somewhat.Well I'm seeing it today. Most of the negative comments in this thread are from people who haven't seen it. The two that have seen it I believe liked it.

Into which Rose never stood by and allowed poor old Jack to die of Hypothermia?Don't lose hope... you could be alive in the Kelvin timeline where the Titanic did not sink.
Jack Huston was great on Boardwalk Empire so I imagined he'd be good no matter what the quality of any movie he's in.I thought the leads were fine.
The first thing they do in that scene, after Rose is on the board is try to get Jack on and it won't support the two. Jack decides to stay in the water. And he tells her "No regrets."Into which Rose never stood by and allowed poor old Jack to die of Hypothermia?
[I always felt that she should had scooted over an inch or two to make some kinda room for him.]
