From The Hollywood Reporter:
Clint Eastwood‘s American Sniper is smashing records at the North American box office, where it is doing huge business Friday for a projected four-day debut in the $55 million-$60 million range over the long Martin Luther King weekend, if not higher.
Take note, Hollywood: Americans admire our heroes.
