Which film had the biggest December 25 debut ever?

On Dec. 25, 2009, “Sherlock Holmes” didn’t just solve mysteries; it broke records! Directed by Guy Ritchie and starring Robert Downey Jr. as the iconic detective, the film raked in $24.6 million on its opening day, Christmas Day. This made it the biggest Dec. 25 release ever. Its record remains unbeaten, with “The Color Purple” (2023) coming in second with an impressive $18 million Christmas day opening, but not enough to dethrone the detective.
