Clint Eastwood & #039;s Iraq war drama edged ahead of & quot;The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 & quot; for a film released last year, according to box office tracker Exhibitor Relations. & quot;Whether you liked & #039;American Sniper & #039; or not, it & #039;s a good thing for the industry having a drama become the biggest box office hit of the year domestically, & quot; Exhibitor Relations analyst Jeff Bock told AFP. Clint Eastwood, even with all his Oscar glory, has never had a hit like this, & quot; he added.
