Titanic was a popular 1997 film set aboard the RMS Titanic on her first and fatal voyage.[1] The film was very expensive to produce.[2] Gloom-mongers, citing rumors of acrimony on the set, budget over-runs, and missed schedules, predicted disaster.[3] They predicted that the only way the film could break even if it turned out to be the highest grossing film in history.
