james cameron's "titanic" is the most commercially successful film about the ship's sinking. "titanic" became the highest-grossing film in history nine weeks after opening on 19 december 1997, and a week later became the first film ever to gross $1 billion worldwide. by march 1998 it had made over $1.2 billion, a record that stood until cameron's next drama film "avatar" overtook it in 2009. cameron's film centres around a love affair between first class passenger rose dewitt bukater (kate winslet) and third class passenger jack dawson (leonardo dicaprio). cameron designed the characters of rose and jack to serve as what he has termed "an emotional lightning rod for the audience", making the tragedy of the disaster more immediate. as peter kramer puts it, the love story is intended to humanise the disaster, while the disaster lends the love story a mythic aspect. cameron's film cost $200 million, making it the most expensive film ever made up to that time; much of it was shot on a vast, nearly full-scale replica of "titanic"s starboard side built in baja california, mexico. the film was converted into 3d and re-released on 4 april 2012 to coincide with the centenary of the sinking. cameron's film is the only "titanic" drama to have been partially filmed aboard the vessel, which the canadian director visited in two russian submersibles in the summer of 1995.

now, the bills and change that were put off to the side get counted, along with the checks from the cashier's drawer. this is what makes up the cashier's sales deposit. most cash registers can print up a sales slip and money tendering slip that tells how much money the cashier made in sales and how much money the cashier is accounted for. the manager refers to this slip when counting the cashier's sales money. if the money counted does not match what is on the balancing slip, the cashier may be over or short (in cash). whenever a discrepancy such as overages or shortages occur, the money is usually counted again to ensure that the amount is correct. the over/short can always be calculated by subtracting the amount of money in the drawer (exclude the "starting amount") from the amount printed on the cashier tendering slip, or balancing slip. depending on the amount of over/short and circumstances involved, disciplinary actions may vary. cashiers have lost their jobs to cash overages/shortages, either for repeated violations or for large overages or shortages. in most establishments, termination on the first offense is usually for $100.00 over/short or more. shortages usually result from bills sticking together or from the cashier giving back too much change, or maybe even "pocketing" some money from the register. overages occur from taking too much money from customers or not entering items in the point of sale terminal properly.
