128 million Americans saw it in theatres when it came out apparently (that’s just Americans! And just the initial theatre release). But it’s been shown on TV, streaming services, etc (and you could pirate it of course) and is accessible in pretty much every country today. There’s been surveys with results like “26% of brits haven’t seen Titanic”, etc, but no real hard data unfortunately. But I’d wager the percentage has to be double digits. Not super high double digits, but definitely double digits.
I think the count may be skewed, unless they accounted for folks who were paying to watch it in the theater multiple times per day, multiple times per week, for its entire run. I knew several of those at the time.
Nonetheless, I would be willing to bet that only a single digit percentage of people on this planet have seen this nearly 30 year-old movie.
I have seen it, but because it has been nearly 30 years since I have, I had no recollection of this scene.
Yeah there was a different scene teenage me found a lot more memorable

I mean a portion of those have certainly died within 30 years?
Yes, and at least a billion other people have seen it since.

And what percentage do you think is represented on Lemmy?
4.784% of which 95.88% haven’t seen it since they saw it at the cinema or briefly after on VHS.
I bet it’s still less than 25%. Just a SWAG though.
Multiple times, I’m tired of it.
