Music moguls Dr. Dre and Ice Cube‘s new Straight Outta Compton movie is reportedly set to make nearly $60 million at the box office in its opening weekend.
Based on early projections, the biopic on iconic rap group N.W.A. is on pace for a $57 million weekend.
It’s the battle of the initials at the weekend box office, with N.W.A biopic “Straight Outta Compton” outperforming “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” “Compton” pulled in $24 million in Friday receipts, putting it on track for a $57 million opening weekend, according to studio estimates. Universal had pegged “Compton” for an opening between $25 million and $29 million, about half the haul it’s now expected to generate. (Variety)
A few days ago, West Coast rapper Game blasted reports about the new movie sparking security issues at movie theaters.

Recently, Cube promised personal feelings had nothing to do with late rapper Eazy-E’s son not portraying his father.
“He’s an up-and-coming actor trying to do it but we needed somebody who was a little more polished to play Eazy, because he goes through a lot in his life. He goes from selling dope in Compton to fighting for his life in a hospital bed. So we needed to find an actor with a lot of range. And we just couldn’t use just anybody. We gave him a shot, and it just didn’t work out.” (KS 107.5)
