Passive Voice acceptable?

For the question: Titanic was released in 1998

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)?

I think the active version -- Titanic est sorti en 1998 -- is much more common.
