I think Titanic would have made the 600 million in today’s market, but that’s it. It wouldn’t have made more than that because the state of things was different 10 years ago. At that time, it was the riskiest endeavor because nobody was making 3-hour entertainment films. I want to leave my opinion of Titanic out of this as this will skew things too much. From an objective viewpoint, there are far riskier films making money in the market now, especially The Dark Knight. The fact that a film as dark as that one can be the second-highest domestic gross of any film says a lot about what people expect nowadays. The Dark Knight would have been passed over 10 years ago as overindulgent, an adjective that would have fit for Titanic in today’s market. If one is to look at just the numbers, then Seibert’s assessment in his first two sentences are accurate. However, factoring in the timing of each film and the current tastes of the era, this would probably not be the case.
