VIDEO STORES GET TITANIC IN SEPTEMBER



LOS ANGELES (AP) - ``Titanic'' is on its way, and video stores are clearing the decks.

The highest-grossing movie of all time, with a box office take of more than a half-billion dollars and 11 Oscars to its credit, including best picture, debuts on video Sept. 1.

Still in the theatrical Top 10 - ``Titanic'' was No. 8 last weekend - the Leonardo DiCaprio-Kate Winslet sinking ship romance will be released on video amid a $50 million marketing push, complete with consumer promotions.

The video release is being promoted by a long-distance company. Also on board is a cosmetics company that makes ``lasting color lipstick.''

The videos are expected to cost between $20 and $30.
