OUR MAN CLINT LEADS U.S. BOX-OFFICE


...which isn't surprising, given the surprisingly potent limited release reception for the actor-director's latest (and last acting gig, as he commented last year) film, Gran Torino ($9 million last December). But with a $29 million opening weekend in wide release? A figure like this can only make the Best Actor Oscar race as murky as it gets. (Or call it a three way game: Sean Penn vs. Mickey Rourke vs. Clint Eastwood)
