CLAP FOR THEM: Tupac Biopic ‘All Eyez on Me’ Earns $27M At Box Office

    Although the movie received mixed reviews from movie goers and critics. The Tupac Biopic 'All Eyez On Me' Directed by Benny Boom earned a strong $27.05 million it's debut weekend. The film earned $3.1 million in Thursday previews and $12.8 million opening day. The film came in at No.3 at the North American box office.
    I went to see the movie yesterday, being that I wanted to support Benny Boom on this major project. The movie was cool. I just suggest if you decide to go see it, go see it as a movie goer and not as a critic. The movie made me miss the hell out of Tupac and 90's Hip-hop. I rapped all of the songs during the movie as if I were at a concert. The only scene I can deem as horrible was the death scene....It was unbelievable and the church music that played was totally unnecessary. Tupac was lionhearted and very passionate. He was destined for greatness. So I wouldn't say the movie was bad but I cannot label it as great. It was decent and entertaining. Pac was such a complex and dynamic person, I don' think his life could really be told in 2 hours. If you're a true Tupac fan you might not want to see this movie. Being that as a fan you may not feel as though the film represent his legacy properly
    Congrats to everyone that was apart of the film.
