By As we all figured, Straight Outta Compton is still dominating the box office. It released at just the right time as the Summer was winding down and the award season is still a few weeks away. It’s not like it would’ve got swallowed up by the other films, as it’s full of great performances, but this window allows it the attention it deserves. It’s rare we get a biopic that succeeds on multiple fronts.
Raking in $13 million it beat out the other two releases, War Room with $11 million and Rogue Nation with $8 million. Yup.
