•Says he didn’t see the film making much
money

Sharing the success story of the film, which
starred some of the country’s finest actors,
AY admitted that despite the menace of
piracy, the distributor of the movie, Silverbird
Film Distribution, as well as himself made a
fortune from the production. “The film
grossed the sum N168 million in the cinemas,
despite the challenges posed by piracy. I
benefited from the production, but the cinema
houses made more money than I did.

But
acknowledging the fact that “30 Days in
Atlanta”was my first movie, everything was
based on agreement that we signed at that
time. As a matter of fact, I didn’t see the
movie making much money but it recorded a
huge success in the cinemas,” he said.


On how he was able to overcome the
challenges posed by piracy, AY, who is
planning to shoot the sequel to the award-
winning movies said he embarked on
adequate publicity and awareness campaign.


AY revealed that he’s currently planning to
shoot a sequel to “30 Day in Atlanta”, which
he said will be titled ‘A trip to Jamaica.’ “It is
not a sequel to “30 Days in Atlanta.” The new
film is expected to hit the cinemas between
June and July after touring countries like UK,
Canada and Jamaica before it premiers in
Nigeria.”


30 Day in Atlanta”, shot in Atlanta, US
starred the likes of Ramsey Noah, Mercy
Johnson, Richard Mofe-Damijo and Hollywood
icons, Vivica Fox and Lynn Whitfield. It
premiered in the country on October 30, 2014,
and has since become the highest earning
Nigerian movie at the Box Office.
