Trivia: After being on release for about 3 months, Titanic replaced Star Wars: A New Hope as the movie with the highest ever domestic box office total, ending its run with over $600m.
Trivia: Until Avatar surpassed it in 2010, this was the highest-grossing film of all time, in North American and worldwide. It was also the first to gross over a then unheard-of $500 million (its total gross is $600 million) in North America, and the first to gross $1 billion worldwide.
