How to Titanic stories 

The Titanic was a passenger ship that was famously known for its sinking on April 15, 1912, after colliding with an iceberg during its maiden voyage. The ship was believed to be unsinkable due to its innovative design and state-of-the-art technology, but the collision with the iceberg caused the ship to take on water and eventually sink. There were not enough lifeboats on board to accommodate all of the passengers, and as a result, over 1,500 people lost their lives in the disaster. The story of the Titanic has been the subject of numerous books, movies, and documentaries, and it continues to fascinate people to this day.

James Cameron Explains Embarrassing Oscar Acceptance Speech For Titanic

Award-winning director James Cameron explains what led to his embarrassing Oscar acceptance speech after winning Best Director for Titanic.

Titanic director James Cameron addresses what went wrong during his infamous Oscar acceptance speech. Cameron has enjoyed an impressive career and created many films that have had meaningful impacts on pop culture, starting with his breakout work writing and directing 1984's The Terminator. He continued to produce popular and well-regarded films at a steady pace, skyrocketing to even higher levels of fame with Titanic in 1997, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. The tragic romance garnered over $2 billion at the box office and had a massive influence on the media landscape.

With three movies in the top 10 highest-grossing films of all time, Cameron remains a highly respected filmmaker. He caught flack, though, early in his career for a regrettable line in his speech after winning the Academy Award for Best Director in 1998 for his work on Titanic. After a gracious speech thanking his cast, crew, and family, the director ended his comments by quoting his own film, exclaiming, "I'm the king of the world!", which left a bad taste in the mouths of many and was seen as a vainglorious choice. While speaking with Chris Wallace for a recent episode of Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? (via CNN), Cameron explained his thought process at the time, stating that his emotions got the better of him, leading him to appear and sound overly arrogant while really he "was trying to express the joy and excitement" he was feeling. See Cameron's explanation, and a clip of the speech in question, belowYeah, maybe, you know, I mean, I took a lot of heat for the line, you know, and I think the egregious sin there was a one of what was perceived, as you know, arrogance or the conquering, you know, a sense of conquest, which was not what was in my head, I was trying to express the joy and excitement that I was feeling in terms of that movie, and the most joyful moment for the character for, you know, Leonardo DiCaprio, his character was when he, you know, was free and at the bow of the ship, and all that sort of thing.

"But what I learned is, you don’t quote your own movie, to the Academy, if you win. Because it’s cringe worthy. It makes the assumption that you didn’t win by a narrow margin, but that every single person sitting in the audience on that night at the Kodak Theatre, saw and loved Titanic, and we’ll never know how much we won by but it might not have been a landslide at all. So you know, there was definitely I took flack for all 25 years after that, but you know, you live and you learn, I think what was interpreted as kind of arrogance or a big F- you, I told you so, wasn't in my head at all, but you do have to be careful what you say in your acceptance speech, me and Sally Fields, we have a little self-help group together on this."

Despite Cameron's poor choice of words at the tail end of his acceptance speech, it's understandable that there was "a sense of conquest" in being the one who directed a landmark film like Titanic considering its massive impact on pop culture. The love story between Jack (DiCaprio) and Rose (Winslet) has earned many homages since the movie's release over two decades ago, as have many specific sequences from the movie, such as Jack painting Rose, the notorious car scene, and the necklace being thrown out to sea. Plus, viewers argue about whether Jack actually did have to die to this day, proving that Cameron's film left a lasting impression on audiences.

After Titanic, Cameron began to delve into his interest in deep sea exploration in earnest, forming Earthship Productions with his brother in 1998 in order to stream documentaries on the topic. In addition, he returned to his sci-fi roots with the short-lived series Dark Angel. The director made several documentaries, but did not come back to the director's chair to produce another mainstream film until the mid-2000s, when he got to work on Avatar, combining his interests in science and cutting-edge filming technology by creating a movie that would revolutionize the use of 3D and become the highest-grossing film of all time.After Avatar's release in 2009, Cameron made it clear that he wanted to pursue multiple sequels, which he began filming in 2017, filming both the second and third movies, as well as parts of the fourth, simultaneously. Avatar: The Way of Water finally hit theaters in December 2022 and has already landed a spot in the top 10 highest-grossing movies of all time, making the future of the Avatar franchise - and by extension, Cameron's future as a filmmaker - extremely bright. Though his Titanic speech wasn't received well, Cameron has since proved that when it comes to creating box office hits, he may very well be "king of the world."

Avatar: The Way Of Water’ Flies Past $1.7B Global, Now 7th Biggest Movie Ever; ‘Puss In Boots’ A Whisker From $200M WW – International Box Office

UPDATE, writethru: That was fast. Coming out of its fourth weekend of release, James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water has topped $1.7B globally and become the No. 7 biggest movie of all time worldwide.

With an estimated $1.708B through Sunday, the 20th Century Studios/Disney sequel has overtaken 2019’s The Lion King ($1.663B) and 2015’s Jurassic World ($1.672B) as it leaps up the chart.

Riding past $1.19B at the international box office, the sci-fi epic has become the highest-grossing overseas release of the pandemic era and the No. 5 title ever offshore behind Avatar, Avengers: Endgame, Titanic and Avengers: Infinity War.

The international session delivered $132.6M in 52 markets for an estimated overseas running total of $1,191.3M. The weekend haul repped a 30% drop from last frame, but a significant number of markets saw increases including Brazil (+83%), Spain (+53%) and Germany (+4%) while other holds were very strong.

WoW remains the No. 1 non-local movie in all markets after four weeks (save for Kuwait where M3GAN dethroned the Na’vi this session), and has become the biggest studio movie ever in India. 

The Top 5 markets to date are China ($188.3M), France ($107.2M), Germany ($92.6M), Korea ($85.6M) and the UK ($69.1M).

In China, the hold was -55% and Maoyan is still projecting a $220M final. Way of Water officially has another week to run (with Chinese New Year approaching on January 22, it appears unlikely it would get an extension).

In Europe, WoW has grossed an estimated $548M to date (70% 3D/PLFs), Asia-Pacific is at $512M (74% 3D/PLFs) and Latin America has grossed an estimated $131M (53% 3D/PLFs).

After 24 days, the IMAX total has reached $189.5M, making it the format’s fourth biggest release ever. Internationally, it’s at $122M, the third best result of all time.

Meanwhile, Universal/DreamWorks Animation’s Puss In Boots: The Last Wish is closing in on $200M globally, having passed $100M at the international box office this weekend. The session was worth $25.9M in 77 offshore markets for an overseas cume to date of $109.7M. Globally, it’s a whisker away from $200M with $197.4M through Sunday.

Puss is now one of only 10 studio animated titles to cross $100M during the pandemic era internationally, and it has also topped Lightyear overseas. The performance is above Sing 2 at the same point in release.

There were six markets added this frame. Brazil grossed $3.5M including previews, double Sing 2. In Poland, and including previews, the start was $2.6M. Korea launched to $2.4M. In Argentina, the sequel purred with the most admissions for the weekend, but came in No. 2 as Avatar has a much higher average ticket price due to premium formats. 

In holdovers, Germany grew 18% to reach $8.9M and overtake the lifetimes of Encanto and Ferdinand. France still leads all play at $14.5M, followed by Mexico with $9.7M, Germany, Australia ($6.2M) and Spain ($5.4M). Still to come are the UK on February 3 and Japan on March 17.

Also from Universal, Blumhouse’s M3GAN scared up another $10M in 34 markets for a 17% dip. The international cume is $14.8M with global at $45M after domestic’s strong opening. The offshore performance is in line with Smile, Invisible Man and The Black Phone at the same point, and above Halloween Ends and Happy Death Day.

In Spain on Friday, the AI doll grabbed the biggest opening day for a horror film since Old in 2021 and grossed $1.2M through Sunday. Italy likewise had a great opening day as the biggest of the pandemic era for a horror title and saw growth over the weekend which came to $1.1M. 

Mexico has now grossed $4.4M after two frames, in line with Smile and Halloween Ends, and slightly above The Invisible Man. France rose to $2.5M, in line with Halloween Ends, and above Black Phone. Still on deck are such markets as Australia, Germany, UK, Brazil, Korea and Japan. 

 

James Cameron revisits the moment he calls 'cringeworthy' in his 1998 Oscars speech

Avatar: The Way of Water" is setting box office records and generating Oscar buzz, which recently got director James Cameron reflecting on a moment he had celebrating one of his other big films.

Cameron revealed in a conversation with CNN's Chris Wallace for a new episode of "Who's Talking to Chris Wallace?" that he regrets quoting a line from "Titanic" during his acceptance speech for best director at the 1998 Academy Awards.

"Mom, dad, there is no way that I can express to you what I'm feeling right now," Cameron said during the ceremony. "My heart is full to bursting, except to say, 'I'm the king of the world!'"

Of the moment, Wallace asked Cameron: “How bad was the backlash in Hollywood? The feeling that Jim Cameron was riding a little too high at that point?”

Cameron clarified that what was perceived by some to be “arrogance” was not how he was feeling on stage.

“I was trying to express the joy and excitement that I was feeling in terms of that movie – and the most joyful moment for Leonardo DiCaprio’s ‘Titanic’ character was when he was free and at the bow of the ship,” Cameron recalled.

“Titanic” won 11 Oscars that night, including best picture, but Cameron said he also took home a valuable lesson.

What I learned is you don’t quote your own movie to the Academy if you win, because it’s cringeworthy,” he told Wallace. “It makes the assumption that you didn’t win by a narrow margin, but that every single person sitting in the audience on that night at the Kodak Theatre saw and loved ‘Titanic.’ And we’ll never know how much we won by, but it might not have been a landslide at all.”

“I took flack for all 25 years after that,” Cameron continued. “You do have to be careful what you say in your acceptance speech, me and Sally Field, we have a little self-help group together on this.”

In 1985, Field won her second Academy Award for her performance in “Places in the Heart.” She later became a punchline for saying, “I can’t deny the fact that you like me. Right now, you like me!”

 

Hailey Bieber Weighs in on 'Nepo Baby' Discourse with Fashion Statement

The Rhode Skin founder was spotted Friday in a baby tee with the words “nepo baby" printed across the front Hailey Bieber isn't afraid to make a fashion statement!The Rhode Skin founder, 26, stepped out in Los Angeles on Friday and was photographed in a parking garage wearing a baby tee with the words "nepo baby" printed across the front.

Joining in on the recent "nepo baby" discourse, Bieber's look was complete with a black bag, vintage-looking blue jeans, and of course, Bieber herself — who is the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin and wife of Justin Bieber.

Tom Hanks Weighs in on Hollywood Nepotism Conversation and His Kids Acting: 'We Have to Do the Work'

The ongoing conversation around the "nepo baby" — or children of actors or other industry insiders who've benefitted from their familial relationships — was recently boosted by a New York magazine's recent cover story detailing a few familiar names within the entertainment industry.

And while Bieber is embracing the phrase in her latest look, others like Jamie Lee Curtis and Lily Allen have expressed their concerns about it. In December, Curtis called herself an "OG Nepo Baby" by sharing throwback photos of herself with famous actor parents Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh.

"I have been a professional actress since I was 19 years old so that makes me an OG Nepo Baby," Curtis, 64, wrote. "I've never understood, nor will I, what qualities got me hired that day, but since my first two lines on Quincy as a contract player at Universal Studios to this last spectacular creative year some 44 years later, there's not a day in my professional life that goes by without my being reminded that I am the daughter of movie stars."

The current conversation about nepo babies is just designed to try to diminish and denigrate and hurt," she continued. "For the record, I have navigated 44 years with the advantages my associated and reflected fame brought me, I don't pretend there aren't any, that try to tell me that I have no value on my own."

Tom Hanks also weighed in on the conversation, telling Reuters, per The Sun, about his role in A Man Called Otto and the "family business" of entertainment. Hanks shares his spotlight in the industry with wife Rita Wilson and his four kids Colin Hanks, Elizabeth Hanks,Chet Hanks and Truman Hanks.

"This is what we've been doing forever," Tom, 66, said. "It's what all of our kids grew up in. We have four kids — they're all very creative, they're all involved in some brand of storytelling."

"And if we were a plumbing-supply business or if we ran the florist shop down the street, the whole family would be putting in time at some point, even if it was just inventory at the end of the year," the actor added.

 

Meghan Markle ‘not welcome’ at Balmoral as Queen lay dying Harry confirms

 Meghan Markle was banned from Balmoral by King Charles as Queen Elizabeth lay dying last year, Prince Harry confirmed in his bombshell new memoir, “Spare.” Harry quickly defended Markle, telling his dad, “Don’t ever speak about my wife that way,” according to reports on the tome, which was accidentally released early in Spain. Charles told Harry that it wasn’t right or appropriate for Meghan to be in Balmoral at such a deeply sad time,’ a source said, according to the Daily Mail.

‘It was pointed out to him that Kate [Middleton] was not going and that the numbers really should be limited to the very closest family.” Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, were in London in September when the Queen’s health rapidly went downhill at Balmoral, her home in Scotland. Many of the senior royals immediately began planning to fly to Balmoral, including Prince William, along with Andrew, Edward, and his wife Sophie, the Daily Mail reported Saturday.

About 90 minutes after Buckingham Palace announced the Queen’s ill health, a rep for Harry and Meghan said they both would be traveling to Scotland — but hours later, a clarification was made that Harry would be going it alone.

Harry says in his book that during that window of time, he was told by his father not to bring Meghan. Harry then flew by private jet to Scotland and arrived after the Queen had already died.

In addition, Harry writes in “Spare” that he learned of the Queen’s death.
