Planet Ice: Does that mean anything to you? Still, it’s one of the biggest hits of all time at $2.2 billion!

The job title in Hollywood is a habit that goes back a long time! The concept is as old as cinema and has been used in literature as well – a famous example being Gone with the Wind, which the author named, among other things, “Not in Our Stars”.

A working title, or “working title” in English, indicates either the authors’ desire not to reveal the final title until they choose to reveal it, or the authors’ desire to have a working title to wait for. The final title of the work.

Planet Ice, mysterious title

In the case of Planet Ice, the title was pretty coded, as only one word is a real clue to the exact nature of the film. Planet suggests it could be a sci-fi movie like Forbidden Planet or a horror movie like Planet Terror, but the word is just meant to muddy the waters.

A really useful word for trying to find a movie is ice. And if the corresponding movie turned out to be a huge success at the box office with $1.84 billion, you might already know. Especially after learning that the director of the film is none other than James Cameron. Well done: it was the Titanic!

Thanks to multiple releases, Titanic has now grossed over $2 billion, making it the fifth biggest hit of all time. Adjusted for inflation, it even climbed to third place, behind James Cameron’s Gone with the Wind and Avatar.

Among the most famous working titles in the history of cinema, we can cite Blue Harvest (Return of the Jedi), Group Hug (The Avengers) or the change of seasons for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
