New York - Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood has had the best movie opening of his career.
Gran Torino revved up the box-office with $29m in ticket sales in its first weekend of wide release.
It is Eastwood's best opening ever, topping the $18m his Space Cowboys made in 2000.
Studio estimates on Sunday show the 78-year-old Eastwood stole the box-office bouquet from Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson.
Their wedding comedy Bride Wars came in second with $21.5m.
The horror movie The Unborn followed with $21.1m.
