The Weekend Box Office Results – 1/11/09
Clint Eastwood’s rumored last movie, “Gran Torino” has taken charge of the box office this past weekend with $29,025,000 in profits.
The movie has taken down the two-week strong hold that “Marley & Me” had over the holidays and has a nice steady lead over “Bride Wars” and “The Unborn (2009)“.
“Gran Torino” stars Clint Eastwood as Walt Kowalski, a Korean War veteran, a widower, and an anti-hero. He takes on the neighborhood gangs, but shuns being called a hero. He’s a gun-toting racist with thoughtless children who want to put him a nursing home on his birthday. My favorite part of the trailer is him yelling at the thugs to “get off of my lawn.”
Here’s the recap of the weekend box office chart:
This looks like a really good movie and people came out in droves to see it. I’m going to put this on my list of must-see movies.
