When a hologram of Tupac appeared at Coachella, many wondered about the technology behind it. Now Digital Domain, the company that was part of the process, has filed for bankruptcy.
According to CNN Money, Digital Domain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after dealing with debt for a long time. If the court approves, Searchlight Capital Partners will now buy Digital Domain’s production business.
Aside from their work with the Tupac hologram, Digital Domain has also worked on several films. The company was a part of films like Titanic, Pirates of the Caribbean, Transformers and even won an Oscar for the work they did on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

I’m glad that they went bankrupt, because Tupac wouldn’t have never been on stage with people he dissed like Snoop and Dr “Fruity as Alize” Dre.
you glad they went bankrupt ? what a loser smh.
companies going bankrupt is bad for the economy. If they are bankrupt, they can’t pay their debts and had to lay off employees. If any of those debts are government funded, who do you think pays for that loss? For the now unemployed people who once worked there, who do you think will pay their unemployment?
before you make asinine statements, think about who’s pocketbook this will actually affect (assuming you pay taxes).
@ r.pgh
a hologram company going bankrupt, isn’t going to hurt the economy. u must be alize dre fan.
One company going bankrupt, no, it has little affect on the economy.
100’s of companies going bankrupt, and it’s tax payers who foot the bill.
I was pointing out the absurdness to root for a company to go bankrupt when it directly affects anyone who pays taxes.
No company = laid off employees = unemployment growth = higher tax premiums for people with work.
Thanks for taking the time to post something about a subject you clearly don’t understand.
If y’all made a Ja Rule hologram y’all wouldn’t go bankrupt… Ja’s the hottest nigga in the world.
Ja Rule hologram could save this company.
All these people need is some Ja Rule in their lives.
Ja Rule is the richest nigga in the universe, he could save this company… Though, they would need to make a hologram of him too.
Ja Rule resurrected many niggaz careers… He could resurrect this company too.
Ja Rule straight murders niggaz… Though, he could save this company with his money.
you cannot be serious. Ja Rule is whack af. Couldn’t handle getting murked by Em so he left town.
em needed a tupac beat (courtesy of jimmy iovine), 50 cent verse and busta rhymes. on top of that, ja rule’s popularity was already on a decline.
Ja Rule is shit and generic.
This post is for Trolls only
damn that sucks
They want pac forgotten, think they wanted to eliminate all chance of a possible hologram tour.
I just copped a new company
Wtf’s up with all these Ja Rule comments lmao
seems like Ja Rule is hip hop’s Chuck Norris
Why is this dude in like every article DX posts talking about Ja Rule? lol
I heard they went bankrupt because they tried to make a Biggie hologram and couldn’t afford it
biggie is a garbage and overrated.
Obviously the company is trying to avoid paying their share in taxes. They will be back under a new name in no time. Welcome to Corporate America. Get rich, ship your money to tax havens, when the IRS come knocking, claim bankruptcy. Enjoy your money for 2 years, come back under a new name and start all over again. Gotta love it…smhhh.
Hey stupid boy, there’s not enough demand for their services, they work per contract and the majority of their work is with Hollywood studios. There’s a link in the posting if you REALLY wanted to know what’s going on. Dumbass.
^^Real talk its a good thing they failed before other idiots decided to give them money to do a another hologram
Guess who isnt going bankrupt……Ja Rule
Ja Rule fucked niggaz up just like 2 pac did. they both killaz
Ja Rule was so strong he could bitch slap niggaz with his cock and wouldn’t be called gay
im gessing ur 13 years old whos in the closet that only listens to ja rule
For all the mothafuckas wondering about Ja Rule comments, he’s our MESSIAH
It would great to see a hologram about Ja Rule’s buzz, since it is just as dead as 2PAC and Biggie combined. Probably his career will be the next in that grave, rest in peace to both.
Thats why ja rule spends his free time washing other mens shitty drawers
yo chek it out its tupacs bodyguard puttin in WORK for one of the guys who cause them to go bank rupt
