Fifty Shades Freed Brings Out The Lovers On Valentine’s Day

The one thing that has never been in doubt since this franchise started is that fans of Fifty Shades come out to support the BDSM-romance on Valentine’s Day and this year was no different.

Fifty Shades Freed grossed $10.8 million on the lover’s holiday and ticket sales were only $200,000 off from Darker‘s Valentine’s Day take of $11 million. Like Freed, Darker was in a scenario a year ago with Valentine’s Day falling in the middle of the week. The current running total for Freed is $56.07 million which is 14% behind Darker’s first six days. Freed‘s Valentine’s Day grosses were up 174% over Tuesday’s take of $3.9 million.

If you want to find the record holder for Valentine’s Day you only have to look to 2015’s Fifty Shades of Grey, which grossed a massive $36.7 million when Valentine’s Day fell on a Saturday that year.
