A true critical and popular success, this great classic of the seventh art is leaving Netflix in the coming days. You don’t have much time left to see him again.
Netflix is one of the most prolific streaming platforms on the market. Putting several new releases online every week, the sector giant must regularly sort through its catalog, in order to make room for new films and new series, or because the exploitation rights for certain programs are expiring. This is why this masterpiece of the seventh art is leaving Netflix in the coming days.
Some films remain in the minds of spectators only for the duration of their viewing, while others achieve the feat of crossing generations. This is the case of this drama which has become one of the biggest global box office successes of all time. The bet was nevertheless risky: period reconstruction, true story to honor, duo of actors still little known to tell a romance which would keep the spectators in suspense for more than 3 hours, numerous special effects… The challenges that had to be overcome Titanic were numerous.
If you are one of the rare people who have missed the phenomenon, a little reminder: the film by James Cameron, released in 1997, tells the fictional romance of two passengers from the liner who historically died following a shipwreck in April 1912. If social conventions separate Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet), this trip will bring them together and allow them to experience a love story as epic as it is tragic. The idyll, as passionate as it was obvious, was in fact brutally interrupted when the ship hit an iceberg on the night of April 14 to 15, 1912. The number of deaths was estimated between 1,490 and 1,520 passengers.
A real bet for the time, Titanic was a huge critical and popular success. Not content with shocking generations of spectators and raking in more than $2.2 billion at the worldwide box office, thanks to multiple releases for almost 30 years, it remains the fourth most viewed film of all time. He also swept the Oscars, winning 11 awards.
If you’ve never seen the film before, or if you want to enjoy another viewing session, it’s now or never: Titanic leaves Netflix on January 14, 2025. If you are a Disney+ subscriber, it is also possible to watch it. Otherwise, you will have to rely on multiple television rebroadcasts, or purchase and rental on VOD platforms.
