Clint Eastwood's controversial new movie Richard Jewell has suffered a battering at the box office, making just $5m on its opening weekend from 2,502 screens.The film cost $45m to make, meaning it could end up costing Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way, Eastwood’s own production company Malposo Productions and Warner Bros millions in losses if it doesn't pick up the pace in the coming weeks.
Eastwood’s depiction of his story has come under fire for suggesting that the reporter who broke the story of the FBI investigation traded sex for information. She tweeted: “Contrary to a swath of recent headlines, I do not believe that Kathy ‘traded sex for tips’. Nothing in my research suggested she did so, and it was never my intention to suggest she had. That would be an appalling and misogynistic dismissal of the difficult work she did.
