Yoruba movies are nollywood movies, what are you asking here exactly?

I think nollwood doesn't recognise or absorb yoruba movies to their mist hence the yoruba guys have their own group

Nollywood has moved beyond selling through discs....so, if we are talking about VCD's then it would be Yoruba movies I guess, if people usually buy a disc to watch them.

I thought you were going to give us something better with your initial gragra but alas u failed, even based on your ascertions you still failed. maybe its only Lagos that may buy nollwood movies but as for yoruba states outside Lagos..don't even try it cos I have been to many states in the southwest, before you see a video shop that sells or rent nollywood movies take a lot and severe searching

Lol... What better thing were you expecting me to give you? Do I have to break it down to dummy language before you understand? Its just like saying because people in the west Love Amala there for it sells more than Garri that is. Consumed in all parts of the country and even outside.

By the way except you are talking about the forests in those places you been to I'm pretty sure English movies are sold all over the country even in the southwest.

Cheers

They are both hideous the Yoruba movies sells more because they are in mass production, the cost of making them is very low, the English speaking wing of Nollywood have ironed out some "head-scratching" moments you still find in Yoruba movies like someone dying from a car crash that rolled at 2mph into a grass or a gun shot that that sounds like a tray and spoon connecting together

Hmm you are totaly wrong that English movies have better movies because they spend more, do you know the cost of the film "jenifer". Do you know how much it cost to produce an epic yoruba movie?

1. Yoruba movie industry is a subset of Nollywood
2. Nollywood as you know it has evolved and we now have the old nollywood and the new nollywood
3. The yoruba movie industry still belongs to the old nollywood
4. The old Nollywood has been on a free fall for a while, and chances of a recovery is less than 30%
5. The New Nollywood is the future


back to the question.
i believe the comparison should be location based. in lagos and the south west, yoruba films sell more. In all other regions, English movies sell more
