On Friday, Sniper stayed No. 1 with a mighty $10 million from 3,885 theaters for a domestic cume of $227.1 million for Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow. Projections show the film earning as much as $32 million for the weekend, pushing its total to just shy of $250 million. This past week, the Oscar-nominated Sniper became the biggest war-themed film of all time, eclipsing the $216.5 million earned by Saving Private Ryan, not accounting for inflation.

Yeah! Love this movie. So happy it is doing so well.
Yup. Me too. Puts a smile on my face to see the code pinkos get their collective panties all bunched up because of some “racist psycho killer” being portrayed as a hero. I’m sure Chris would have said he was doing what he was tasked to do, not being heroic. RIP Chris. We’ve (a lot of us) got your 6.
Yep. I was thinking that if everyone who went to see this movie showed up to vote in 2016, we would be in great shape and would have another huge win. I hope this starts the American public getting serious about politics and the mess that the Democrats made of our beautiful country.
Actually.....the “American Sniper” movie is already “Worldwide” at $274,000,000.00 USD in revenue. It will easily pass the $300,000,000.00 USD mark this “Super Bowl” weekend!!! By the time the Academy Awards air two weeks from now.....”American Sniper” will be in the $350-400M range....easily blowing away all other Academy nominated films put together, in both revenue and greatness.
Let us see what the “supposed” great Academy & Hollywood low life vermin will so about this!!! We, the vast majority or the American people are both watching & listening........”Hollywood”!!!
Hint: Clint Eastwood - Best Director
Bradley Cooper - Best Actor
“American Sniper” - Best Picture

One POSSIBLE problem is that the ballots were sent out well before the news and wide release of the this. I really don’t think anyone saw this happening. I think Boyhood or Birdman will win. Best Actor most likely is Michael Keaton....Director I think is Boyhood Director. However, I would love to be wrong and American Sniper takes it all but I think timing is not on its side with regards to ballots. I saw Boyhood....it was ok but extremely long. So glad I saw it on Amazon. I did see American Sniper in the theater. I also saw Gone Girl at the theater. Other then those, I have not watched the rest. Last year, I saw EVERY nominated film, but they were more interesting then this year overall.
I don’t think Eastwood was nominated. There is no way this movie gets an Oscar. It was fortunate to be nominated.
Pray America is waking
My small town theater is playing it this weekend. Absolutely packed for every showing. Friends of mine that grew up here say they’ve never seen lines like that ever.
I don’t do crowds and haven’t been to a movie since The Lion King with my daughter in ‘94.
Although they did raise the admission price to $5 a couple years ago when everything went digital
Gives me a great idea, go watch the movie instead of the Super Bowl, I’ll probably like the outcome a whole lot better anyway since I’m a Packer fan, at least the “Sniper” Kyle was a “winner”.

Unfortunately and unbelievably, I don’t think Clint Eastwood got a nomination for best director.
It’s not really unbelievable. It’s payback for “The Empty Chair.”
Clint Eastwood was bypassed for the Best Director nomination by the “the low life, “Hollywood” Obamabot adorees!!! The Academy is going to have a rough year if Eastwood, Cooper & the filme is not recognized on awards night!!! Millions of Americans that never watch this phoney, ego driven, farce every year will be watching this year....to see what “Hollywood & the Academy” does in the reality fact that “American Sniper” has captured the interest and understanding of the entire world!!! It has destroyed the entire list of nominees by both earned revenue and millions of viewers.....across the world!!!
By the way......”American Sniper” has just completed another stunning “Box Office” performing this weekend!!!
The last time I watched it was when Braveheart was up for best picture and best actor. And then I only watched intermittently, changing over to see when they were going to announce those two awards.
Ya folks might have some interest to note that after only three (3) weeks in wide distribution & release, the film, “American Sniper” has reached a “Worldwide” revenue stream of $316,242,000.00 USD and, still climbing!!!
Take that....Traitors, Obama, Rogan, Moore, Maher, Baldwin.....low life liberal, Democrat, vermin you all are!!! Academy/Hollywood, low life,.....take heed....we, the American people are watching!!!
Went last night, theater was packed.
