Hasn't done as well as "The Aviator," thats for sure. Medved's criticism had nothing to do with the fact it didn't do well in the box office, but Hollywood will refuse that notion. Its a blame game, especially if they can blame a conservative.
What are you talking about? Million dollar baby cost $30 mil to produce and The Aviator cost a $110 mil. Eastwood brought it in for a small budget and guaranteed himself a profitable movie. The last director to do that was John Huston.
