In spite of the vitriol spewed toward the movie American Sniper, Americans flocked to see the Clint Eastwood biopic of the late Navy SEAL Chris Kyle in record numbers.
The previous record for a movie opening on Martin Luther King Jr. weekend was set last year by Ride Along, which opened with $41 million. American Sniper is estimated to have more than doubled that, bringing in an astounding $90.2 million.

I hope Eastwood makes sure that Jesse Ventura doesn’t see one dime of this.
The “progressive”, pro-Islamoterrorist, honky rich kid heads are exploding in mummy and daddy basements all over the country. LOL. I love it. Thanks Clint and Taya!
The elites at Warner Bros are happy this is making money hand-over-fist.
From the trailers/photos I've seen, he transformed himself physically for this movie.
Since he produced the movie, doesn't he stand to make a lot of money off its success, too?
The producer is the one who invests financially in the movie, right?
I saw Taya Kyle on Hannity last night she is a very lovely and smart woman.
Having a movie’s gross *double* its production budget in just three days is outstanding. Then, as a big budget picture doing so, with a production budget of $60m, it is just incredible.
Did he ask her about Mega Douche-Bag, Jesse Ventura?
...Ventura won a 1.8 million verdict against her & her kids back in July.
Clinton can’t go back in time and stop Chris from putting in a lie into the book. Chris was a great sniper but not good at the truth. As much as you want, there are some things you can’t change. Also people lie for money. Chris soul came too cheap. Conservatives need to not rush to hero worship of sinful men. Even the great King David had his problems.
I just finished the book. Can you give me the page numbers of these lies you’re talking about?
I get it, we are all sinners. And I am not the judge of anyone’s soul.
But, Jesse Ventura is a jerk and a blowhard and I hope that he gets NOTHING from Mrs. Kyle. Zero. He should be ashamed of himself.
If anyone were foolish enough to make a movie about the life of "Jesse Ventura" ...
I would not even RedBox it.
I believe he’s referring to pages 310-312 “Punching Out Scruff Face”
You weren’t there either so how do you know what the truth is? You are loathsome and unfit to garner any attention.
I can’t believe there’s this narrative out there, that it is racist to go see American Sniper instead of Selma.
And how was Selma snubbed by the Oscars when its a front runner to win best picture???
“”Clinton cant go back in time and stop Chris from putting in a lie into the book””
HUH?
I'm glad to hear her say that she believes the movie is an accurate depiction of her husband, their relationship, the dialogue etc.
Personally, I'm LMFAO!
It's Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. A movie about a sniper is breaking records while a film about MLK himself is in a box-office death spiral. If this isn't evidence of a backlash against the "hands up don't shoot" crowd, I don't know what is.
You’re 100% right! but it will never be ‘fessed up to.
