Netflix is receiving criticism for bringing the movie “Titanic” back to its streaming service on July 1, with some accusing the company of trying to profit from the recent Titan submersible tragedy. Twitter users have called this move “beyond distasteful” and claim that Netflix is crossing boundaries of decency. However, industry insiders reveal that licensing deals for movies are planned well in advance, and the return of “Titanic” to Netflix is simply a coincidence.
Interestingly, “Titanic” had already been streaming on Amazon Prime before the Titan submersible incident took place. Director James Cameron, who directed “Titanic,” expressed regret for not speaking up about his concerns regarding the experimental sub. He compared the tragedy to the fate of the Titanic itself, where the captain disregarded warnings about ice and ended up causing numerous deaths. Lastly, debris from the recently missing sub was found near the wreckage of the Titanic, further adding to the parallels between the two events.
It is important to note that licensing decisions for movies on streaming services are made in advance, and any thematic similarities between movies and real-life events are coincidental. Netflix’s decision to feature “Titanic” was not influenced by the Titan submersible tragedy.
