What happens
All Eyez on Me is a 2017 American biographical drama film directed by Benny Boom. Named after the 1996 studio album, it follows the life and death of hip-hop artist Tupac Shakur. The film stars Demetrius Shipp Jr. as Tupac, with Kat Graham, Lauren Cohan, Hill Harper, and Danai Gurira. Jamal Woolard reprises his role as The Notorious B.I.G. from Notorious (2009). Talks of a Tupac biopic began in 2011 by Morgan Creek Entertainment. The film languished in development hell for several years with various directors, including Antoine Fuqua and John Singleton, attached at different points before Boom was confirmed in November 2015. That December, Shipp Jr., whose father worked on music videos with Shakur, was cast as the rapper and principal photography began that month. It lasted until April 2016, filming in Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. All Eyez on Me premiered on June 14, 2017, at the Fox Bruin Theater and was released in the United States on June 16, 2017, on what would have been Shakur's 46th birthday. The film was unsuccessful at the box office, grossing $55 million against a budget of about $40–45 million, and received generally negative reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
