Clint Eastwood's newest film, "Juror #2, " is having a special premiere at the AFI Fest in Los Angeles. But after that, Warner Bros. is planning a very quiet release. The movie will only be shown in less than 50 theaters across the U. S. and a few other countries. This is unusual for a big studio like Warner Bros. , which usually shows its movies in many more theaters.

Some people think the studio might not even tell how much money the movie makes at the box office. This has happened before with another movie. It's like the studio isn't too sure about the movie's chances to win awards. Clint Eastwood hasn't had much luck with awards lately, even though his movies used to be big hits.

The movie business has changed a lot since the pandemic. Studios think it's risky to show adult dramas in theaters now. Clint Eastwood's last movie, "Cry Macho, " didn't do well at the box office. This might be why Warner Bros. isn't expecting much from "Juror #2. "

The studio has worked with Clint Eastwood for a long time. So, showing the movie in theaters could be a thank you for all the money and awards he's brought them. But is a small release the right way to treat a movie legend? Maybe not. But in today's movie business, this might be the best they can do.
