NEW YORK (AP) - Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood has had the best movie opening of his career.

“Gran Torino” revved up the winter box office with $29 million in ticket sales in its first weekend of wide release.

It is Eastwood’s best opening ever, topping the $18 million his “Space Cowboys” made in 2000.

Studio estimates 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 $21.5 million.

The horror film “The Unborn” followed with $21.1 million.
