'American Sniper' breaks records for best January opening day
The biopic
about the most lethal sniper in American history was right on the money,
earning more during its opening day Friday Jan 16,2015 than any Eastwood flick has
in an entire weekend, the studio reported.
'American
Sniper,' which stars Bradley Cooper in the role of US Navy SEAL sniper
Chris Kyle, drew $30.5million in Friday box office receipts
That take has already ensured the movie will have the best opening weekend of any Clint Eastwood movie to date, his previous best being Gran Torino, which took in $29.5million
On
Thursday Jan 15,2015, it was announced the film was up for six Oscar nominations,
which included one for best actor for Cooper and one for best adapted
screenplay.
Clint Eastwood
took on the directing role of 'American Sniper' shortly after Steven
Spielberg and DreamWorks pulled out of the project in 2013
