James Cameron’s "Titanic" had a production journey nearly as epic as the historical event it portrayed. With a staggering budget of $200 million—equivalent to the original ship’s cost after inflation—the film was a huge risk. Hollywood was skeptical, anticipating Titanic to be a financial disaster. Yet, Cameron’s commitment to recreating the real-life tragedy down to the smallest detail changed everything, turning what could have been a box office iceberg into one of cinema’s most successful ventures.
