Tupac biopic All Eyez On Me enjoyed a strong opening weekend at the box office, racking up an impressive $27 million, according to Deadline.
The movie, which had a reported budget of $45 million, had been projected to do slightly better thanks to a remarkably strong opening day. Released first in preview screenings in 2,000 sites across the U.S., the movie had already amassed $12.9 million by June 16 going into Saturday and Sunday.
Compared to another successful Hip Hop biopic, Straight Outta Compton, All Eyez On Me saw far more advanced ticket sales but less in walk-up money, reports Deadline
The good news is that All Eyez On Me beat its own tracking from the week before its release, which estimated that the movie would gross somewhere between $15 million and $22 million. Coming in at $5 million higher than that, Lionsgate and Codeblack Films can safely call the film a success.
This doesn’t mean that All Eyez On Me is without its prominent critics though, with Pac’s close friend Jada Pinkett-Smith accusing the movie of being dishonest on Twitter. Film producer L.T. Hutton responded to her, saying that the movie’s goal was to show “who Tupac was, who he wanted to be and who he had to be to survive the world that he was introduced into.”
Reviews for the film weren’t particularly generous either. Film review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes has it listed at 24% with 38 reviews counted, although the audience-generated score is much higher, coming in at 70%.
Rotten Racist Tomatoe rates all black films wrong . All eyes on me is the best film of 2017 .
WTF you talkin bout? Get Out had great ratings. All Eyez On me is a trash movie
Is that you dxstaff ? Haaaaaa
This movie had a 40% larger budget than Straight Outta Compton . I’ve heard mixed reviews so i can’t give my sole opinion on the film, but most of the people I know who are true pac fans say that the film is bad. Only the casual fans or people who don’t know much about cinematography are saying this film is good. I also heard it isn’t that deep as it could’ve been. It’s only a surface Tupac film , where they show events from his life but they don’t get deep into the emotions or thought processes of him or the people at the time.
no one knows what the true budget was SOOC was, its all estimates, they say 28 mil, the All Eyez On Me estimate production budget is said to be $33 million . The rest went on promotion, but i never saw any promotion or it about for the NBA finals, also the studio had no faith in the movie and therefore never gave it a push
$28 million For SOC, No 2 “O’s” Because its spelled “S”traight “O”utta “C”ompton”
Google and Box Office Mojo is your friend….
All Eyes on Budget was 40+ Million according to Variety and LT Hutton
my point being a black movie once again proves the studios wrong and beats it tracking, even with bad reviews.
lmao. Idk understand why every black person pulls the race card when something doesn’t go their way. the movie was trash, get over it
Its because Tupac isnt alive unlike straight outta compton. NWA was able to tell their truth and give every single detail of their experience during their come up. Tupac’s movie is just a retelling of his story by other people.
I don’t know what to make of the reviews/don’t trust the reviewers.
Can a real hip hop head tell me if it’s worth it? Or do I wait until I can download it?
Check out my review on youtube. Search mil hustles. I definitely recommend it
Movie was decent. It had some real poignant moments and at times you couldn’t tell if It was really pac or demetrius. It had pacing problems and was geared towards recapturing and reenacting classic 2pac moments you could catch on youyube anytime. It had a soul but as a viewer and pac fan I had to look deep for it. On the surface it could be a great lifetime movie. The acting was good. Ship did his best. To me, the film didn’t capture anything new or go into any deep background story. As an audience we didn’t learn alot. It did jump from scene to scene very loosely which I didn’t like. But…its better than the reviews make it out to be. 6.5/10
You could just pay for it and go see it yourself. You aint got $10?
film was great
Rotten Tomato stay on some racist bs
Fukboy we expected hate from you after Pac and the Outlaws ran the train on yo mama in the 90’s .
Wtf does that even mean fuckhead? Lol I can probably name More pac songs off the top of my head then your little dumbass even knows about. I even won a contest on THIS website like seven years ago where you had to answer A random 2pac question and they would send you a biography that came out at the time. Just face it: You’re stupid and you have a shitty taste in movies.
Fuckhead , White dxstaff is that you ? Haaaaaaaa
Movie was good, idk what ppl expected from it….it’s a biopic not a documentary
Shitty movie and put out under an almost false narrative like its a storyline movie. Not one fan wanted this type film. Yall wasted everyones time with this. At least you dont have to share any profits with the Shakur family. Thats all they wanted. Pacs mom died so its all for the taking. This movie is just a big infomercial for profit. They could give a shit less if its good or not as long as that 28 mill came in uncut. The legacy was extorted like it always is and always will be for any poppin artist.
my new york homie called me mad because the movie showed biggie sleeping on pac couch .
Decent flicc. But just like Straight Outta Compton it took poetic license. I have the House of Blues show on DVD. DID NOT PERFORM HAIL MARY. It was released after he died. Guess Haitian Jack didn’t sign off so he becomes Nigel. No Jimmy Henchman. Let’s just understand it is a movie. All biopics lie. Why? Films are made to make money not to tell the truth. Honestly, why the fucc would you expect a film to tell the truth when your history books don’t. That being said I enjoyed the film for what it was. Fiction based on truth…….
F the critics. Go watch the movie it was amazing!
This movie was fire
So big lived with his mother and slept on pac couch but called himself big poppa new york has a fraudulent foundation and that’s the real reason new york Hiphop died .
Of course it made millions everyone loved PAC and wanted and still so want to see it. I went. Opening ? .I ? the music other thEn that interview part could been ? out..dodo..I wouldn’t. Pay 2see it. Again.
as a big fan of Tupac’s for 25 yrs, the movie was good, not great, disappointing definitely. 30 mins into the movie I thought i was watching a cheesy tv movie. the scene editing/pacing in the first half of the movie was horrible, they tried to quickly show pretty pivotal parts of pac’s life with short/rushed 2-5 min scenes that were abruptly cut into a completely different scene with no continuity, this went on from short scene into short scene again and again. some of the actors/acting were cringeworthy, Pac, Jada, afeni, suge were good, a lot of the others left me shaking my head. the operatic music playing when Pac is pulled from the BMW is fucking horrible! I had such big expectations for this movie, having waited for 20 yrs for a biopic movie to be made about his life & this is what is made! I left the theater thinking I had just watched a cheesy tv movie about Pac. I was hoping All Eyez on Me would at least meet or exceed Straight Outta Compton standards…not even close…dismal movie results. 2-3 stars out of five.
This movie was wack!
