Reviews were mixed, but Clint Eastwood's "J. Edgar" is off to a strong start.
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio as a glowering, sexually repressed J. Edgar Hoover, the biopic of the FBI chief premiered Wednesday to $53,000 in seven locations.
That averaged out to more than $7,600 a theater — an impressive haul for a hump day.
The Oscar hopeful is being released by Warner Brothers and was filmed for $35 million.
