Tupac's 'All Eyez On Me' Movie Release Date Finally Announced

We've been waiting...and waiting...and waiting. Finally, we have the release date for Tupac's All Eyez On Me biopic and we're more than ready.

Though everyone was looking forward for a release of the movie by the end of this year, it'll be coming out in 2017, instead. What the exact date? It's on Pac's 46th birthday on June 16. So, that's seven more months of waiting.

Dominic Santana, the actor who plays Suge Knight in the movie, made the announcement on IG.

Get ready it's coming. And please no whining about the date. It's Pac's b day. We're all anxious for it to come out but people gotta remember it's a major film and there's a lot of process to releasing major films. Because it was Tupac a lot of buzz was created word of mouth even while we were filming which usually doesn't happen until a movie is about to come out. This was no regular movie so you've been hearing about it since we started. It's actually right on par with the timing to release a major film after you wrap shooting. So relax and look for the formal announcement soon and actual promotion to start coming out. #AllEyezOnMe #tupac #movie #instagood #followme

Yes, we have to wait a while longer than we initially anticipated. But, at least now we have a countdown to the exciting new film's release. Let's throw a gangsta party!
