          It's the other way around, if that makes sense.

          'Ford v Ferrari' is the actual original title of the film but it had to be changed in some markets - I think due to copyright issues regarding using the brand names.

            ‘Tiffany’s’ isn’t really a brand name, though.

                        I'm guessing the rarity of such instances may be due to a need for permission, which most businesses would only give for something brand-enhancing (and thus most likely crap). The makers of Better Call Saul explained that the reason why the BCS S1 episode "Alpine Shepherd Boy", uniquely amongst all the S1 episodes, doesn't have a title ending in -o is that their originally preferred name "Jell-o" had to be abandoned on legal grounds.

                            The Marathon Man (would have had a different name if it had been released a couple of decades later)

                              I'm perplexed at this.

                                          Okay, conceded. I’ve always thought of it as referring to the venue itself.

                                                  Had White Star copyrighted the name Titanic?

                                                  If so, Titanic.
