On the heels of the Academy Awards, Cost Plus World Market
(www.worldmarket.com) is excited to announce its partnership with
Paramount Pictures for the re-release of one of the most honored
films of our times, TITANIC, now newly remastered and in 3D. In
celebration of the release, World Market will be launching its
“World Market Titanic Sweepstakes,” offering one grand prize winner
a trip for two to London, tickets to the film’s premiere and a
$1,000 World Market gift card. Three runner-up winners will each
win a TITANIC in 3D private movie screening for 100 guests plus a
$500 World Market gift card. The sweepstakes runs from February 25
through April 7, 2012 and fans can enter for a chance to win at

James Cameron, who also directed the breakthrough 3D epic
AVATAR, will bring TITANIC to life as audiences have never seen it
before, digitally remastered and harnessing the innovative
technology of StereoD. Opening in theaters on April 4, 2012, the
re-release of TITANIC also coincides with the 100th anniversary of
the Titanic setting sail on April 10, 1912. Written, directed and
produced by Cameron, and released by Twentieth Century Fox and
Paramount Pictures, TITANIC is the second highest grossing movie of
all time. It is one of only three films to have received a record
11 Academy Awards® including Best Picture and Best Director; and
launched the careers of stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
Called “A spectacular demonstration of what modern technology can
contribute to dramatic storytelling” by Variety upon its release in
1997, the long in the works 3D conversion was overseen by Cameron
and his Lightstorm producing partner Jon Landau who produced the
hit movie.
Fans of the movie and Anglophiles alike can find some of their
favorite English treats every day at World Market. Authentic
British products include everything from Aero Milk Chocolate Bars,
Cadbury Flakes, McVitie’s Biscuits and PG Tips tea to Heinz Beans,
