A little wonder, every day

James Cameron’s Titanic had a production budget of about $200 million in 1997 dollars. The ship itself cost £1.5 million, or about $7.5 million in 1912 dollars. These are nominal amounts from different years. Converting the ship’s cost into modern money depends on the inflation index, so such equivalents are approximate.
