Progression of February 3-day opening weekend record holders:

Posted by Max Feb 13 '15, 19:21

1986 The Color Purple $5.3
1986 Pretty in Pink 6.0
1987 A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 8.8
1990 Hard to Kill 9.2
1991 Sleeping With the Enemy 13.7
1996 Broken Arrow 15.5
1997 Dante's Peak 18.4
1998 The Wedding Singer 18.8
1999 Payback 21.1
2000 Scream 3 34.7
2001 Hannibal 58.0
2004 The Passion of the Christ $83.8 million

It looks like Platoon was the first modern February movie to earn over $100 million, totaling $137 million in 1987. And it looks like only Hitch, Hannibal, Lego, and Passion have exceeded that, with Passion in the lead at $370 million.

        ah, yah, january was always kind of a dumping ground, too, for new films vs. those that had platformed before the new year + holiday leggies. -- nm - b. Feb 13, 19:56
