- Very Strong Reviews. Critics have been mostly kind to "Compton" (its Rotten Tomatoes score stands at 88 percent, while its Metacritic reviews are 72 percent favorable).
- Weak Competition. "UNCLE" was the only other wide release this weekend, and it underperformed even its modest expectations (predictions ran near $19 million), opening in third place with an estimated $13.5 million.
- Personal Branding. "Compton" had even less star power than "UNCLE," but even audiences too young to remember N.W.A. know the rap group's co-founders, Ice Cube and Dr. Dre.
- Clever Marketing. Universal's marketing team is certainly on a roll, having helped make hits of four other huge movies this summer, from "Trainwreck" to "Jurassic World."
Watch Straight Outta Compton (HBO) on Max. Plans start at $9.99/month. The powerhouse drama of legendary hip-hop group N.W.A. and its trio of superstar performers — Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and Eazy-E — is told in this pulse-pounding biopic.
- The group didn’t call their music “gangsta rap” when it came out. “We were trying to make records that can go on the radio, and when we started doing mixtapes — which we knew wasn’t going on the radio — that’s when we really started to talk about the neighborhood,” Ice Cube told Rolling Stone in 2015.
- N.W.A almost didn’t make it to Straight Outta Compton. At the conclusion of the group’s autumn 1987 tour opening for Salt-N-Pepa, Ice Cube informed the crew that he would be going to college.
- Ice Cube wasn’t from Compton, but that didn’t stop him from writing about it. The rapper was born and raised in South Central Los Angeles. He’d met Eazy-E as a teenager and gave him the lyrics to “Boyz-N-the Hood.”
- The inspiration for “Fuck tha Police” is up for debate. Dr. Dre has recalled a story where he and Eazy-E went around shooting paintball pellets at people waiting for the bus.
