Hmmm. Is this an established practice for choosing product names? (regardless of whether it was intentional in this case)
Excuse me while I look up the cast list of the next James Cameron movie.

A few people might see your product and stick around, but I think that the brand confusion (and potential law suit) might be strong enough con's to negate these few users.
Would that be a bad thing? Even those that left would then know that your site existed, which isn't without value.
As far as names matching a character in a movie, I think it would be very difficult to make a suit out of this. If anything, you could then change your name slightly, and get some press about it.
You would be very surprised:
'Some controversy has risen in Germany, where Albert Uderzo's own publishing company, Les Éditions Albert René, is claiming in court that certain IT companies whose name end in "ix" (not unnatural in companies who work with Unix) are damaging his brands "Asterix" and "Obelix".'
