Titanic went on to make a whole boatload of money at the box office.
In fact, Titanic only made a little over $28.6 million during its first weekend in theaters–just barely edging out the latest James Bond flick Tomorrow Never Dies at the box office.
Domestically, the theatrical release pulled in over $600 million.
Titanic would ultimately have a 41-week theatrical run, and its tragic tale of love and disaster has lived on in the cultural lexicon in the time since.
