How times change.

TITANIC's total box-office in China (1998) - $44 million (Record)

TITANIC re-release's opening weekend box-office in China ('12) - $58 million. (Record)

EDIT - Controversy in the Chinese blogosphere over the government censoring out Kate Winslet's greatest contribution to cinema.

Quote:
During opening night and the following day, Chinese micro-blogs were alight with simultaneous gripes about the censoring and nostalgic gushing over the film’s sweeping romantic drama.

"I've been waiting almost 15 years, and not for the 3D icebergs," said one widely cited micro blog commentator, according to Xinhua News Agency.

The same nude scenes were censored during the film’s original run in China in 1998, but many viewers first saw the film on pirated copies from the West, and thus are more familiar with the unedited version.
