Cry Macho was released in September of 2021 and generally failed to make any sort of impact. Most critics found the film uneventful and slow-moving, with audiences only slightly more receptive to it. Based on the 1975 novel of the same name, Cry Macho follows former rodeo star Mike Milo (Eastwood) on a journey to reunite a young boy with his father. It’s hardly surprising that Zaslav would take issue with backing a film that wasn’t expected to deliver much of a return. It’s clearly not the right direction for any studio that wants to find success in such a deeply competitive industry.
Zaslav’s apparent anger over Cry Macho also illustrates how he’s pushing to create something new at Warner Bros. Discovery. For decades, Eastwood has been known as a filmmaker who does only one take, bringing his films in on time and under budget. However, times change and Eastwood’s iconic status is no guarantee that he can still provide audiences with something they’ll be eager to see. The fact that Zaslav recognizes this is a sign that he’s ready to bring in a new era at the studio, the likes of which could very well spell the end of a creative partnership with Eastwood.
