The highly anticipated movie adapted from Chimamanda
Ngozi Adichie’s novel ‘Half of a Yellow Sun’ would be in
Cinemas across Nigeria from this Friday.

Half of a Yellow Sun which has been released in cinemas
in the UK, USA, Australia and New Zealand has been able
to generate Two Hundred and Eighty Million Naira
(N280,000,000) from cinema releases, in-flight right sales
and online viewing right sales. The movie is however
expected to do better in the Nigerian market as the
writer, producer and director are all Nigerians.

As the cinema release date of ‘Half of a Yellow Sun’ for
the Nigerian market draws closer, heightened
expectations and excitement awaits the day as can be
seen in several posts on social media platforms.
Speaking to an official of Bigsam Media, an avid HOAYS
fan said “I can’t wait to get to the cinema on Friday, I am
sure it would be an unforgettable experience.”

According to Bigsam Media “HOAYS would be in cinemas
from this Friday and we are expecting it to do better than
what it did abroad. This movie is for Nigeria, from Nigeria,
by Nigeria and we are sure that it would perform beyond
our expectations.”

The movie which was to be released earlier this year but
could not as a result of problems with the Nigerian Film
and Video Censors Board has however been approved for
release and would be in cinemas on August 1st.
The movie features BAFTA award winner and Oscar
nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor, BAFTA award winner Thandie
Newton, Genevieve Nnaji, O.C. Ukeje, Zack orji and
Onyeka Onwenu.
