This marks the first-ever release of Titanic in Dolby Vision in
2D and 3D, a direct result of ongoing partnerships with both James
Cameron and Paramount Pictures.
“We mastered a few minutes of Titanic in Dolby Vision and I was
stunned. It was like seeing it for the first time. Now that the
entire film has been mastered, I’m excited to share it with
audiences across the U.S.,” said filmmaker and director James
Cameron. “This is beyond 3D, beyond 70mm, it’s beyond anything
you’ve seen before. The image leaps off the screen as bright and
vibrant as life itself. This is the way all movies should be seen
and without a doubt, Titanic has NEVER looked better.”
“James Cameron shares our vision for creating the world’s best
cinematic experiences,” said Doug Darrow, Senior Vice President,
Cinema Business Group, Dolby Laboratories. “Our partnership with
James and Paramount Pictures has enabled us to showcase a
masterpiece of theater in the most incredible way, leveraging Dolby
Vision to breathe new life into one of the most awarded films in
the history of cinema. Titanic at Dolby Cinema is truly a
can’t-miss experience.”
“This timeless love story makes the perfect romantic date - or
fun night out with friends,” said Elizabeth Frank, EVP Global
Programming and Chief Content Officer, AMC. “Twenty years since it
first played in theatres, Titanic in Dolby Cinema at AMC will
captivate movie fans like never before.”
