House poor … Will Ferrell Amy Poehler and Jason Mantzoukas. Ferrell stars as a man who convinces his friends to start an illegal casino in his basement after he and his wife (Amy Poehler) spend their daughter’s college fund. His last lead role was in Daddy’s Home, which proved a big commercial winner, but his new comedy The House is very much in the miss category, with a debut of £488,000 from 407 cinemas. Will Ferrell is hit and miss at the UK box office. The film’s director Benny Boom is best known for directing music videos (50 Cent, Nelly, Nicki Minaj), while star Demetrius Shipp Jr was unknown to audiences, so it was really only All Eyez on Me’s subject and soundtrack that provided strong marketable elements. While that’s below the debut frame of 2015’s NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton (£2.5m from 429 cinemas), distributor Lionsgate will be encouraged. Released into a tight 270 cinemas (compared with 608 for Despicable Me 3 and 543 for Baby Driver), Tupac Shakur biopic All Eyez on Me has achieved a creditable site average of £3,380 from an opening gross of £913,000.
