U fiirso qoraalka hoose ka dibna ka jawaab su'aasha kadib isla luqadda qoraalka:  Passage: 20th Century Fox iyo Paramount Pictures ayaa wada maalgeliyey Titanic, iyadoo Paramount ay gacanta ku hayso qaybinta Waqooyiga Ameerika iyo Fox oo gacanta ku haysa sii deynta caalamiga ah. Waxay filayeen in Cameron uu filimka dhameystiro si loo sii daayo July 2, 1997. Filimka ayaa la sii deyn lahaa taariikhdaas "si looga faa'iideysto iibka tigidhada xagaaga ee macaashka badan marka filimada blockbuster ay sida caadiga ah si fiican u sameeyaan". Bishii Abriil, Cameron wuxuu sheegay in saameynta gaarka ah ee filimka ay aad u dhib badan tahay iyo in la sii daayo filimka xagaaga aysan suurtagal noqon doonin. Dib u dhac ku yimid wax soo saarka, Paramount waxay dib u riixday taariikhda sii deynta illaa Diseembar 19, 1997. Tani waxay dhalisay mala awaal ah in filimka laftiisu uu ahaa musiibo. Bandhigga horudhaca ah ee Minneapolis bishii Luulyo 14 "waxay abuurtay dib u eegis togan" iyo "[c]hatter ee internetka ayaa mas'uul ka ahaa hadal wanaagsan oo afka ah oo ku saabsan [filimka]". Tani waxay ugu dambeyntii keentay in warbaahinta ay si wanaagsan u daabacdo. Filimka waxaa lagu soo bandhigay Nofeembar 1, 1997, Bandhigga Filimka Caalamiga ah ee Tokyo, halkaas oo jawaab celinta lagu tilmaamay "diiran" by The New York Times. Dib u eegista wanaagsan waxay bilaabatay inay ka soo muuqato Mareykanka; bandhigga rasmiga ah ee Hollywood wuxuu dhacay December 14, 1997, halkaas oo "ciyaartoyda filimada waaweyn ee ka soo qeybgalay furitaanka ay si xamaasad leh ugu soo bandhigeen filimka warbaahinta adduunka".  Suaal: Maxay shirkada Paramount u badashay in ay badasho xiliga lasoo saari lahaa filimka?
