STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON tells the story of five young men who translated their experiences growing up in the neighborhood of Compton (LA-California) into brutally honest music that rebelled against abusive authority and gave an explosive voice to a silenced generation.
The movie follows the rise and fall of the group N.W.A. and how these young men revolutionized music and pop culture forever the moment they told the world the truth about life in the hood as they ignited a cultural war.
Made for only $29MM this film has already brought in over $117MM to date (as of 8.27.15) and is just getting started. After bringing in an estimated $24.1 million on opening day (8.14.15) domestically, COMPTON shot straight to the top of the box office and has remained there for the past two weeks (August 14-27, 2015).

COMPTON has also earned the largest R-rated August opening in box office history. This has not only Universal Pictures (the film's distributor) but all Hollywood executives taking notice to a genre of film-making that has caught the interest of a younger generation curious as to exactly what went down to start the rap phenomenon which continues through modern day.
The film was produced by Circle of Confusion along with Dr. Dre & Ice Cube. Other producers on the project were David Engel and F. Gary Gray. Gray also Directed the film. The movie stars many formerly "unknown actors" (who will surely now become recognized names in the industry) including: O'Shea Jackson (as Ice Cube), Corey Hawkins (Dr. Dre), Jason Mitchell (Easy-E), Neil Brown Jr. (Dj Yella) and Aldis Hodge (MC Ren).
