I'll take that challenge..

they have a similar type of story that NWA had....they were highly controversial in their time..they got arrested for offending the establishment not in the fuck the police way..but they still caused congressional hearings. Luther Campbell had similar bacchanalian exploits and they fizzled out in the end like NWA..

give them the same cinematic treatment and viral marketing and I don't know if theyd get the SAME results but it would be close...

The reaction by the govt and backlash by white middle america is the biggest most compelling thing BOTH groups had going for them. NWA in a violent gangster way and 2 Live Crew in a lewd sexually vulgar way.

no other groups in rap music ever got that at least not to the degree those two did.

OK I'll give you that one...they may be the only ones that could come close... good story but numbers wise it wouldn't be the same

Not bad at all for a movie that cost only 25 million to make.

Re: Straight Outta Compton' Movie Will Rake In An Estimated $50 Million Opening Weeke

they estimated 56 yesterday about noon...the real numbers came in today at 60 mil...

Straight Outta Compton is indeed the least surprising surprise hit of the summer, soaring to a whopping $60.2 million in its debut weekend. That’s the fifth-biggest August debut ever, the seventh-biggest R-rated debut of all time, and nearly triple the previous best debut for a musical biopic. Walk the Line, James Mangold’s Johnny Cash biopic, debut with $22m back in 2008 on the way to a $119m domestic cume. Straight Outta Compton was already the 14th biggest such film after a single day of release, and after today it will be the fourth biggest, not adjusted for inflation. Within the week it will pass Coal Miner’s Daughter ($67m) and Ray ($75m) to become second only to Walk the Line. How quickly it passes that figure is merely a question of whether it holds up next weekend.

i hope it holds up....

a 50% drop off would b perfect...means by this time next wk it will surpass that johnny cash shit...

these kinda numbers will def make Hollywood take notice & try other legendary rap groups...( u knw how they like bleeding something till its dry...)

i think a P.E. movie would work....

I guess it was mostly critical acclaim

That's a crazy ass statement since Ice T existed before NWA, and west coast rap would have occurred naturally anyway

Re: Straight Outta Compton' Movie Will Rake In An Estimated $50 Million Opening Weeke

Bro, do you pay attention to how many Eazy E, Biggie, pimp c, and Pac lines he stole? ..

His whole catalog is filled with other folks lines.

OK. I don't really listen to Wayne, so I didn't know.

why not??

1. like NWA they were never a real threat to the establishment either

2. flava flav

3. remember that brief period of time PE almost stopped existing becuz prof griff was talking shit about jews and the label threatened to shut them down if they didn't get rid of him....notice how griff ain't a part of PE right?

4. they aligned themselves with al sharpton and tawanna brawley whom they called a fraud and hoax ultimately.

A PE bio pic could be done and it would probably be successful since much of their fanbase is white and overseas and looking at the success of NWA, 8 mile and Notorious...it has a better chance than you'd think
