On Friday, finally, American Sniper
opened in wide release. And, surprisingly, Clint Eastwood’s adaptation of Navy
SEAL Chris Kyle’s autobiography set a record for the best January opening ever,
taking in $105.3 million at the box office for the four day weekend.
That's not just the biggest opening of all time for January but
a Clint Eastwood-directed film as well. It's also a highly profitable one as it was
shot on a tight budget of $60 million.
Not bad for an 84 year old as it seems the guy seems to be hitting his
prime now.
The film has also made headlines not only for good reviews
and making a ton of money, but also with people who are hanging on in Hollywood
like wanna be director Michael Moore and unfunny funny man Seth Rogen for taking
swipes at the film on social media. My
response to those liberal bastards would be, “Why don’t you go screw yourself!”
