I would call it a superhero movie just because The character is a hero that has a lot of responsibility and is facing an opponent equal to their own capabilities. It is hard to call Batman a superhero, but with the same criteria, neither is Ironman.

The best comic book movies (Dark Knight, Spiderman (1&2), Ironman) they focus on the person inside the suit, the person behind the hero. It is easier to feel for the hero when you care about the person.

Grosses are inflated because of ticket prices, they mean little.

Also, Titanic was up against LA Confidential and Good Will Hunting. Titanic reminds me of "studio pictures" that used huge sets, huge budgets, huge scope, but focused on a small portion of the setting. I do not like Titanic that much, but I can see why it is so beloved.
