9. Titanic (2012)
The one properly good thing that can be taken from the rise of 3D is that it has made studios rethink their approach to re-releases. It was only a couple of years ago when the only times you saw re-releases was Its a Wonderful Life at Christmas and the occasional old curio at an independent cinema. In the past couple of years, thanks to the audiences misguided view that 3D adds something to a film, weve been treated to the first two Toy Storys, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, The Phantom Menace and biggest of all, Titanic. The 3D re-release of Titanic was a massive success; it currently stands at 13th on the worldwide box office for 2012. Now obviously the extreme hype surrounding the 100th anniversary of the sinking promoted the film in a way publicists can only dream of, but it shows theres a hunger in the film going public for old classics once again on the big screen. Despite the current 3D shackles, this could lead to a great thing; what Titanics re-release really got right that none of the others did, was that it came along with a 2D version too.
