A Morning Consult/Hollywood Reporter survey found one-quarter of the population said the film, which was released in July 1988 but is set during the holiday season, is a Christmas movie; 62 percent disagreed.

Men were slightly more likely than women to call “Die Hard” a Christmas film (32 percent vs. 20 percent), and those in the 30-44 age group, many of whom came of age when the movie premiered or during the “Die Hard” series’ popularity in the 1990s, were the most likely to say it was a holiday movie.
