It was released in theaters and stayed for almost 10 months, closing on October 1st, 1998. Though, this never hindered the movie to release on home media. It finally came out on VHS on September 1, 1998.

The movie still has this record to this day which is kinda hard to beat. After the pandemic hit the world, the home release has changed quite a lot with many studios now releasing their movies either directly on the streaming platform, simultaneously in theaters and streaming platforms, or waiting around 40 days before releasing them on streaming.

Titanic’s re-mastered version will release starting February 10, 2023.
