Today let’s chitchat about Clint Eastwood’s latest film “Juror #2”. Some of you might be thinking, “Wait, what film are we talking about?” because you may not have heard much about it. This is because it’s being released in just 28 theaters this weekend, and Warner Bros hasn’t been shouting from the rooftops about their new baby.
But guess what? Your pal Warner Bros has had a change of heart and decided to give Eastwood’s movie a small awards campaign! Yep, you heard that right.
Why the Sudden Love for “Juror #2”?
Well, it seems like “Juror #2” has been doing something right to get Warner Bros’ attention. Despite its limited release and barely-there promotion, the film has been quietly impressing people. It has magically pulled a rabbit out of the hat and scored a whopping 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and 73 on Metacritic. Now, those aren’t numbers you can just ignore, especially when it comes to film reviews!
Guess what else?

It’s like watching David against Goliath, but instead of slingshots and stones, we’ve got film reels and VOD.
Is This Clint Eastwood’s Swan Song?
Despite the newfound attention being given to “Juror #2”, the film doesn’t show signs of aiming for a wide release. Instead, it’s packing its bags and heading straight to VOD (Video On Demand) by the end of November. Little promotion, limited theater release, heading to VOD – you’d think Clint Eastwood would be feeling a little gloomy right now. But no, not Mr. Eastwood.

But wait, there’s more. Word on the street is that Clint Eastwood might be calling it quits after “Juror #2”, with many folks suggesting this could be his last project. This speculation is only fueling the fire for the supporters wanting ‘Juror’ to succeed.
So, in a nutshell, what seemed like an underdog film is slowly making its way into the spotlight, all thanks to its high review scores and the incredible amount of goodwill and support Clint Eastwood has garnered over the years. Whether “Juror #2” scoops up a couple of awards or not, it’s certain that the anticipation around this film is reaching fever pitch!
