Titanic
Titanic has an unusual bracket signature: modest early, strong late. The 42% overall rate hides a film that tends to peak exactly when the competition does. The biggest film of the 1990s now occupies an unusual position: universally known, genuinely loved by millions, and perpetually underestimated by people who think they've outgrown it. The ship sinks, the love story holds, and the scale still has no real peer. It ranks behind the other James Cameron film tracked here. 1.0s average decision time. Reflexive, automatic, no hesitation — voters know where they stand before the matchup fully loads.
Synopsis
101-year-old Rose DeWitt Bukater tells the story of her life aboard the Titanic, 84 years later. A young Rose boards the ship with her mother and fiancé. Meanwhile, Jack Dawson and Fabrizio De Rossi win third-class tickets aboard the ship. Rose tells the whole story from Titanic's departure through to its death—on its first and last voyage—on April 15, 1912.
The opening number doesn't capture it. 33% early, 61% in the semis, 59% in the final — Titanic builds as the competition gets tougher, a trajectory most films can't sustain.
The matchup with The Shawshank Redemption is a genuine coin flip at 50% — neither film has found an edge. Titanic owns Pulp Fiction at 85% but Your Name. flips the script entirely: just 0%.
Of the 2 James Cameron films tracked here, Aliens at 71% leads. Titanic is the other entry.
