Titanic to make brief cinema comeback for Valentine’s Day

Titanic to make brief cinema comeback for Valentine’s Day
Jan 11 2023 Share

In celebration of its 25th anniversary, the remastered version of James Cameron’s ‘Titanic’ will be re-released to various cinemas on February 10th.

The 3 hour and 15 minute cinematic phenomenon will be screened in 3D 4K HDR with high-frame rate, giving the 1997 film a fresh new vision to retell the now historic story. 

Cameron further sedimented his role in the film industry through this movie, having won 11 Academy Awards in 1998 and holding No.1 box office spot for 15 straight weeks. 

The film earned $2.2billion worldwide and became the highest-grossing movie of all time until 2009’s Avatar – also directed by Cameron. 

We’re hoping that this return to the big screen is something Maltese cinemas consider, being a move that can not only boost ticket sales but also give the perfect valentine’s date idea for couples on the island. 

This comes as the sequel to Avatar, ‘The Way of Water’ takes the number one spot at the domestic box office for the fourth consecutive week. It brought in $45 million in North American ticket sales, and becoming the seventh biggest movie in history worldwide. 

Cameron is planning to move ahead with the success as he plans on releasing at least 2 more sequels to the block buster.

Silvio Parnis’ son, Jacob, dedicated his latest football win to his late father, who passed away due to a long battle with cancer on the 3rd of January aged 57 years.

It was revealed by Tarxien Rainbows Nursery that Jacob, who plays with their under-15s, removed his kit shirt after the victory, revealing a few words dedicated to his late father. 

‘RIP Dad. I love you’ the shirt underneath read. Another friend of Jacob could be seen donning the name ‘Silvio’ underneath his own shirt to support his teammate. This came after a 2-0 win against Mġarr United. 

Silvio Parnis was a former Labour Party MP and mayor known for his love of helping those in need. His passing left not only his party but many involved in the political sphere mourning. 

Rest in Peace Silvio, and a big well done to Jacob!

As of tonight, all Police officers in Malta will be wearing a different uniform.

This is quite a different look from what we were used to seeing around the Maltese Islands.

The new uniform was announced by Minister Byron Camilleri during a press conference held at Police Headquarters in Floriana.

During today’s press conference, Home Affairs Minister Byron Camilleri described the uniform as one that adapts for 2023, has more security features, more comfort and better-equipped for the Maltese climate. It is also gender neutral.

What do you make of this new look?
