Streaming giant Netflix is being slammed for re-releasing James Cameron's iconic film 'Titanic', just days after the Titan tourist submersible sank, killing all five onboard.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix is bringing back the
Oscar-winning 1997 film to the streamer on July 1 in the US and Canada.
The OTT platform's decision has irked many social media
users.
"So Netflix was like "lets capitalise on this sub
thing real quick...gone head and put TITANIC back in the rotation,"
another one wrote.
"Bad timing," a Twitter user commented.
"Horrible," a social media user wrote.
However, some reports suggest that Titanic was always part
of Netflix's July line-up. These spurned further debate that the streaming
giant could have made the decision to postpone the addition of the blockbuster
title.
Tragedy at sea
Dubai-based British billionaire Hamish Harding and UK-based
Pakistani business tycoon Shahzada Dawood and his son were among the five
people on board the submersible that was supposed to take them to the wreckage
of the Titanic.
The vessel, operated by OceanGate Expeditions, went missing
earlier, prompting a massive, multinational rescue mission. On Thursday, parts
of the sub was discovered — suggesting that the watercraft suffered a
"catastrophic implosion", according to the US Coast Guard. All five
passengers are believed to have died in the incident.
