The Mystery Behind Clint Eastwood’s ‘Juror #2’ Release Is Solved
The Hollywood ReporterStory by Pamela McClintock
scrn logline
The mystery behind Clint Eastwood's 'Juror #2' release is solved, revealing a strategic streaming move that could still succeed despite the challenges facing adult dramas in theaters.
beat sheet
- Despite stellar reviews, Eastwood's 'Juror #2' will bypass a traditional theatrical release and head straight to HBO Max, a move that could help the film avoid the poor box office and bad press plaguing other adult dramas like 'Here'.
- Eastwood's previous films have fared better when he stars in them, but with 'Juror #2' he's only directing, making a Max release a financially sensible choice to build an audience beyond just an awards run.
