Tupac Biopic "All Eyez On Me"

[black caesar]

the weekend estimate on the box office is at $27 mill. not sure what the budget was, hopefully $35 mill at most.

not too bad when you consider All Eyez On Me is only in 2,400 while WW and Cars 3 are in 4,000

It was $45 million for the budget.

- John Singleton says “I told you” about Tupac Biopic

- Benny Boom claps back

Harsh early reviews of the controversial biopic are trickling in, compounding the bad buzz around a movie that was already saddled with a lawsuit-heavy production history and scorching criticism from the Oscar-nominated director who abandoned it. Meanwhile, the studio behind the film isn’t doing much to promote it, which is usually a sign they have a dud on their hands. Whatever conspiracy theories about Tupac are out there, it seems pretty clear that All Eyez on Me is dead on arrival.

All Eyez on Me, which finally hits theaters in the United after more than six years of production woes, was at one point supposed to be helmed by director John Singleton, who made Boyz n the Hood and worked with Tupac himself. He signed up to write, direct, and produce the movie in 2013 but left due to serious creative differences in 2015.

“I told the company if y’all muthafu*kas want to do this, you gotta get the fu*k out my face and let me do this movie,” Singleton told HipHopDX last year. That’s not what happened. “I knew they weren’t going to make a good movie at all and they didn’t,” Singleton continued.

“I haven’t watched it and I refuse to watch it,” Singleton added, explaining that he hasn’t even viewed a trailer for the film. “I know that they fu*ked it up so I’m not even trying to give it any attention.”

They did indeed fu*k it up, according to some early reviews:

Newsday called it “a badly botched biopic that won’t earn Shakur any new fans and will disappoint the ones he has.”

Variety says, “Comprehensive but sketchy, richly atmospheric but often under-dramatized, it is not, in the end, a very good movie.”

The A.V. Club says, “All Eyez On Me has a guy who looks like Tupac, but not much else.”

Rolling Stones gave this movie 2 Stars while saying, “Tupac Shakur Does Not Get the Biopic He Deserves. The hip-hop icon gets the big-screen treatment – and not even a charismatic lead can keep this movie's head up.”

NY Times says, “All Eyez on Me’ Is Uninspired. Tupac Shakur Was Anything But… not only a clumsy and often bland account of his life and work, but it also gives little genuine insight into his thought, talent or personality.”

Benny Boom had a rebuttal to Singleton. “It’s unfortunate that John took that position,” he responded. “There’s a lot of directors taken off projects in Hollywood. It happens. They sign on to movie… [there’s] creative differences… then the directors go on and they do something else. The unfortunate thing is that John just can’t let it go.”

The director also revealed he personally called Singleton and tried to get everything straightened out. “I know John. So I called him and spoke to him… he had a point of view that I did not agree with, in terms of why he said what he said.”

He continued, “I’m like ‘look, whatever issues you have with the producers you got to put that to the side now because this is my movie now.’ If I went around and came up here and started bashing one of his films without saying his name all you guys would have looked at me like ‘you’re hating on John.’”

Benny Boom also brought up the fact that towards the end of Shakur’s life, the rapper wasn’t a fan of Singleton. In leaked audio footage, Tupac could be heard calling Singleton “a coward.” The two previously worked together on the film Poetic Justice.

John Singleton shouldn't be saying anything until he explains that alleged rape shit he had in his script. LT's been doing several interviews talkin about it and John's been quiet.

What's crazy is "SOC" had approximately 40% less of a budget (@ $28 mill) and was done a lot better (from what I've heard on here and from people I know, haven't peeped yet). Just goes to show direction is critical!

Maybe he didn't perform Hail Mary @ The House Of Blues, but can you definitively say that 2Pac never, ever performed Hail Mary at a show?
