What's with ALL these private screenings?


Who else needs to see this? Nobody. Why do everybody in the industry needs to see this "privately" that's what the premiere is for. And then you got people posting clips online.

Smells like ONE BIG MESS! Honestly because the movie is garbage and for some reason in their "morally insane" minds they are trying to justify the damage they did on the movie. The movie was made simply to tarnish Pac's image and the guy who's playing Pac looks like a freakin clone. Study his look...it is un-natural. Tupac's Spirit is going to continue to have an OMEN over this movie and I will be surprised if it gets released.

This is HOLLYWOOD for Christ sakes...The biggest movie industry in the World.

Never heard of the following...
Doing a cheap trailer teaser
Casting an Actor as the same character (Biggie Smalls) that already starred as (Biggie Smalls) in a previous movie. This confuses people, this is not "Notorious featuring Tupac Shakur Part II"
Casting people as themselves for supporting characters
Having a Movie Poster made from a Cheap Computer Program
Having a bunch of looser celebrities view the film SO they can throw cheap praises at it for sideline cash (that is where the 40mil budget is going) They are paying people to say "good things" about the disaster they know they created.

This FILM is ONE BIG JOKE!

I know John Singleton has to be in the comfort of his home "shaking his head", "having a drink" and "smoking some herb" in honor of Tupac while "laughing his ass" off!

I agree 100 perecent pretty soon the whole movie is gonna get leaked out sue to all these screenings,they even gave a private screening to Kanye ,the person who said Pac was overrated and also to Diddy of all ppl we all know how much Pac hated Diddy i'm starting too see what John Singleton was talking bout we he said ppl involved with the movie was not being respectful to Pac's Legacy.

Yup, its a huge mess!

Not one single actor/actress in the film justifies the $40 mil budget. ATL is a cheap location to shoot the film, the marketing is non-existent the execs of the production are keeping big bucks for themselves no doubt about it. None of these people are interested in preserving the legacy of 2pac or the Shakur family they do not care for Pac's fans either. It's disgraceful! 

These exclusive, celebrity screenings plastered all over IG and Facebook is poor, poor marketing it doesn't get anyone excited it infuriates people if anything based on who's present in these screening pics.

Kanye never called Pac overrated, that was a fake article someone made up.

To get hype going

Also, Benny Boom is not a tremendously experienced director and ALOT of movies are tested on smaller crowds before they actually gets released to the public

This is for them to get an idea of if there are parts that need to be cut out because the movie is too long, or if there's something that doesn't quite work and needs reshooting etc etc as they interview the viewers afterwards regarding their feelings about the movie

In comedies for instance they have people see how the crowd is reacting to the jokes, if they are not laughing to certain scenes and they aren't necessary for the movie they cut them out

They need an outside source to make a fairer judgement as they are too connected to the film that they can't really see it objectively themselves

They do this with alot of movies like I say even more experienced directors

Sometimes it's better to keep the genie in the bottle.

Yes. Private screenings are done but usually with People who don't work in The Industry. Audience Members that are going to pay to see the film, not Hollywood types.
