Meanwhile, Cameron is currently looking forward to the re-release of his 1997 classic Titanic. The movie is set to release on February 10 and talking about this date Cameron said, “Well, the date that made sense to me was Valentine’s Day because the highest-grossing single day of the (original) release was Valentine’s Day.” “Kind of obvious why, but very unusual for a film that’s been in the marketplace for two months to have its biggest single performing day. So it’s a celebration of love. It’s a celebration of the movie, at the same time. And it’s a celebration of the success of the movie as well,” he added.
