There were followers of Christ, but no Christians in the biblical sense of the word. Biblically, a Christian is someone who has been born again; has repented and been redeemed, saved from the punishment for sin. Since that was accomplished only by Christ's death on the cross, there were only Christians after his death.

Additional Answer:
If you are referring to the 'followers' of Jesus at the time of His crucifixion, then this passage seems to indicate 120:
Acts 1:15-16New International Version (NIV)15 In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty) 16 and said, "Brothers and sisters, the Scripture had to be fulfilled in which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through David concerning Judas, who served as guide for those who arrested Jesus.

In John's Gospel, Pontius Pilate and the priests must have gone to the crucifixion, because Pilate is described as arguing with the priests abut the words to be written above the cross. Johnsays that Jesus carried his own cross to the crucifixion site, so Simon the Cyrene was presumably not there. In this gospel, Mary was at the cross, joined by the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas and Mary Magdalene. A late second-century tradition is that the beloved disciple was John, son of Zeberdee.

Gestas, the Impertinent Thief, was hung of Jesus' left side and was blasphemous, mocking Jesus about being unable to save himself if he truly was the son of God. He died and went to Hell.
Dismas (or Dysmas), the Pertinent Thief, was hung on Jesus' right side, repented of his sins and joined Jesus in heaven when he died.
