Is this correct: "Monopoly, the Re-Mix"

I was wondering because it is after a comma.

In the title, Catcher in the Rye, the is not capitalized.

Articles in titles get a capital only when they are the first word or when they immediately follow a colon or semicolon.

In titles and personal nouns, 'the' isn't capitalized.

"Peter the Great", "Catcher in the Rye", etc.

Your answer is correct, though I would write it like so:

Monopoly: The Re-Mix. After a colon, "the" would then be capitalized.

Just another prime example of how silly the English language can be. ;-)

At the beginning of a sentence. In titles it is different, you don't capitalize smaller words like a, the, in, an, etc. Unless the particular words starts the title.

this is absolutely correct as the Remix is the extension of the main title Monopoly and is being used to give monopoly a new definition.

It is correct, the comma would have no effect. Were it a period or a colon then you would need to capitalize.

'The' is only capitalized at the start of a sentence and at the start of a title i.e. "The Scarlet Letter" and not "Monopoly, the Remix."

If I remember correct, you capitalize it when it is a proper name...and of course @ the beginning of a sentence:)

In most cases you capitalise "the" when it begins the sentence.
