James Cameron’s billion-dollar-grossing 1997 epic romantic disaster film Titanic is now available to stream for free on Tubi. The record-setting film is based on the real-life sinking of RMS Titanic in April 1912 and stars Leonardo DiCaprio as penniless artist Jack Dawson and Kate Winslet as first-class passenger Rose DeWitt Bukater, star-crossed lovers aboard the ship’s ill-fated maiden voyage.
Titanic Is One of the Most Successful Movies of All Time
Nearly 30 years have passed since Titanic first hit the big screen, but few other films have even managed to come close to the same success. Cameron’s ability to weave a perfect combination of a timeless love story, historical tragedy, and a spectacle of groundbreaking special effects resulted in a movie that was not just a major blockbuster and the first film ever to cross the billion-dollar mark at the worldwide box office, but also one that became a cultural touchstone that still resonates with audiences today.
Titanic swept the awards circuit, winning 11 Oscars out of its 14 nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director, and remains one of the highest-grossing films of all time. Only Avatar, Avengers: Endgame, and Avatar: The Way of Water have overtaken the film’s $2.25 billion worldwide box office haul, making Titanic not only the highest-grossing drama ever but also the highest-grossing non-franchise film. The film spent a total of 15 consecutive weekends at the top of the domestic box office, a record that still stands today.
