Was it open matte or pan-and-scan? Generally, 2.35:1 films were shot on 70mm or Cinemascope 35mm anamorphic frames. Open matte films are generally shot at 3:4 and matted to 1.66:1 or 1.85:1. I know there were a few exceptions, but they weren't common because matting a 4:3 35mm frame down to 2.35:1 ends up looking like crap. Given the budget Titanic had, I have a hard time believing they wouldn't have shot it on 70mm.
