In honor of OSCAR season. The movie Titanic, released December 19, 1997, had a production budget of $200 million, and had a domestic total gross of $600,788,188. But what if I wanted to know its gross for every single one of its 287 days in release? The foreign gross for the film was $1,242,091,767. But when was it released in Bulgaria, and how did it do?
