Will Packer is the People’s Producer and His Movies Prove It
“A film where the cast truly matters (Girls Trip); Infectiously entertaining (Straight Outta Compton); Bloody brilliant (Stomp the Yard).”
These are just a few words critics and audiences have used to describe the movies Will Packer has produced over the years. From his critically-acclaimed dramedy Girls Trip to the Rotten but still beloved Beyoncé-starring drama Obsessed, Packer has built up quite the filmography, and we’re here for it.
We all remember when ‘90s hip-hop fans were thrust back in time for two and a half hours as they watched a stellar cast bring the iconic rap group N.W.A. back to life in Straight Outta Compton. O’Shea Jackson Jr. especially stunned audiences, playing his own father, Ice Cube. The film was praised as “one of the best musical biopics of recent years, immensely crowd pleasing, and visually arresting.”
If you’re not familiar with Will Packer’s work, you should be, so that’s why we’ve compiled this list of his movies and ranked them, first by Tomatometer score, then by the Popcornmeter score. Explore the list below and check out the above episode of ‘Seen on the Screen’, where Packer talks about bringing the rom-com back to theaters with his upcoming film You, Me & Tuscany. — Stephanie Ornelas
