On peut aussi exprimer la même chose ("...was released last week") avec la voix passive ?: "Le nouveau James Bond a été sorti semaine dernière"
is 'Titanic a été sorti en 1998' a possible correct answer?
If not, why not?
If so, what's the difference (compared with the correct answer given: Titanic est sorti en 1998)?

Isn't 'une boîte' a nightclub? Surely it would make more sense for Elsa to be leaving a nightclub than a box?
'la maison de poupées' is NOT 'the doll's house'. It is 'the dolls house' or, more pedantically 'the dolls' house'
Bonjour. I am guessing that using sortir for the release of a film is an exception to the rule. It appears to me that the example provided does contain a direct object immediately following the verb: "Le nouveau James Bond est sorti la semaine dernière." i.e. "la semaine".
The film was released in 2002 = Le film est sorti en 2002. Classic passé composé. But I'm trying to understand the usage of plus que parfait. What does it mean if you say "Le film était sorti en 2002?"' Is that the film had been released?
