This Amended Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D (“Amendment 15”) amends the Amended Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D filed on July 10, 2009 (“Amendment 14”), and all previous Statements of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D filed in connection with the parties and matters referenced herein, with respect to the common stock (the “Common Stock”) of Premier Exhibitions, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Issuer”).  Any capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment 15 shall have the meanings set forth in Amendment 14, previous amendments and/or the original Schedule 13D to which this Amendment 15 relates.  Only those items that are hereby reported are amended; all other items remain unchanged.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction

As described in greater detail in the Amended Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D filed on May 12, 2009 (“Amendment 12”), and the Amended Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D filed on July 8, 2009 (“Amendment 13”), on May 6, 2009, Sellers Capital Master Fund, Ltd. (“SCMF”) and the Issuer entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which SCMF agreed to purchase and the Issuer agreed to sell convertible notes with a total principal amount of $12 million.  The Note Purchase Agreement called for SCMF to purchase a Convertible Note (the “Note”), in the principal amount of $6 million, for an aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to the Note’s principal amount.  The closing date (the “Closing Date”) for the purchase of the Note was May 6, 2009.  The Note Purchase Agreement also called for SCMF to purchase, on or prior to June 15, 2009, a convertible note or convertible notes, on terms substantially identical to the terms of the Note (each an “Other Note” and, collectively, the “Other Notes”), in the principal amount of $6 million, for an aggregate purchase price equal to the principal amount; however, to the extent investors (other than SCMF) mutually satisfactory to the Issuer and SCMF (each an “Other Investor” and, collectively, “Other Investors”) were to purchase Other Notes, SCMF’s obligation to purchase Other Notes would be reduced by the principal amount purchased by such Other Investors. As described in greater detail in Amendment 13, on June 15, 2009, SCMF purchased an Other Note with a total principal amount of $5,550,000 and an Other Investor purchased an Other Note with a total principal amount of $450,000.

As described in greater detail in Amendments 12 and 13, the Note and the Other Notes pay interest in cash at a rate of 6 percent per annum and are convertible, at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) of  $0.75 per share, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (x) the principal amount of the Note being converted plus all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such principal (which otherwise would be paid in cash), divided by (y) the Conversion Price.  Fractional shares of Common Stock will not be issued upon conversion of the Note and, if such conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share, the Issuer will instead, at its option, either pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the closing price of the Common Stock on the applicable market on the business day immediately prior to the date of conversion or round such fraction of a share up to the nearest whole share.  However, the ability of the holder of the Note and the Other Notes to convert them into Common Stock of the Issuer was conditioned upon shareholder approval of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note and the Other Notes, pursuant to all applicable listing rules of the NASDAQ Global Market, and an amendment to the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount not less than necessary to enable the full issuance of the number of the shares of Common Stock that may be issuable upon conversion of the Note, having been obtained at the Issuer’s Annual Meeting or thereafter.

On August 6, 2009, at the Issuer’s 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Issuer’s shareholders approved the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Note and the Other Notes and the related amendment to the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation.  As a result, the Reporting Persons now may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of the shares of Common Stock into which the Note and the Other Note that SCMF purchased now may be converted.

The foregoing description is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copies of the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement dated May 6, 2009, and exhibits thereto, filed as Exhibit 99.2 to Amendment 12 and incorporated by reference herein; and the Other Note purchased by SCMF, filed as Exhibit 99.3 to Amendment 13 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) SCMF is the direct beneficial owner and Sellers Capital LLC (“SC”) and Mark A. Sellers are the indirect beneficial owners of 21,403,399 shares of Common Stock, including 15,400,000 deemed to be beneficially owned pursuant SEC Rule 13d-3(d)(1) as a result of the Reporting Persons’ ownership of the Note and the Other Note (see Item 4).  This represents approximately 46.9 percent of the outstanding shares, based on 30,198,966 shares of Common Stock outstanding as stated in the Issuer’s Form 10Q dated July 10, 2009, and the additional 15,400,000 shares deemed to be outstanding for these purposes pursuant to SEC Rule 13d-3(d)(1).

(b) Each of the Reporting Persons has shared power to vote or to direct the vote, and shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of 21,403,399 shares of Common Stock.

(c) Other than the transactions referenced in Item 4 of this Amendment 15, there have been no other transactions in the Common Stock by the Reporting Persons since their filing of Amendment 14 on July 10, 2009.

(d) No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or any proceeds from the sale of, securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The matters set forth in Items 4 and 5 are incorporated in this Item 6 by reference as if fully set forth herein.  Except for the matters discussed in this Amendment 15, in previous amendments and/or the original Schedule 13D to which this Amendment 15 relates, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with respect to securities of the Issuer.
