‘Gran Torino’ wins box office race!
Get off my lawn!
Every time I see that on the trailer I wanted to go see the movie!
Apparently, a lot of people agreed.
According to Variety:
In the biggest opening of his career, Clint Eastwood’s “Gran Torino” grossed a stunning $29 million from 2,808 locations to win the weekend box office after a month-long limited run.
Directed by and starring Eastwood, pic’s cume is already $40.1 million. Warner Bros. is predicting that “Gran Torino” will easily become Eastwood’s top grossing film of all time. Current record-holder is “Unforgiven” ($101.2 million).
It’s good to see the famed Eastwood persona back.
Now, Clint, you gotta ask yourself - are ya gonna do another one?
Congrats,
“The Paps!”

Clint Eastwood used his outward crankiness to come across as tough and yet also heroic at the same time, well done i’d say
