The reason is simply because Nollywood stepped up their game. Everything improved unlike the old, village settings movie they used to shoot In Asaba,

Where ghosts will be scared to cross roads.

See question, which Buhari? Hope he knows what Nollywood is


Why won't they sell, when you produce movie of that quality, why won't it bring profit.


Our intellect have long suffer from Nollywood movies with the nonsense they produce back then. It's now they are applying sense to some of their movies

So when I see reviews from movies like "The wedding party" I simply go for it.

Box office sales are sourced from the disposable income of Nigerians.

Except it has been Chinese and Australians trooping into our cinemas to watch our Nigerians movies, then this indicates that despite the much touted recession, there is a wide band of Nigerians with enough disposable income to throw at the cinemas.

Orikinla1:
Many national leaders; from political leaders to religious leaders have been complaining about the hardships Nigerians are suffering under President Muhammadu Buhari, because of the economic recession. But why are new Nollywood movies breaking box office records at the cinemas in Nigeria at the same time?.
They have made more than N1Billion from the cinemas within two years that Nollywood movies did not make under the so called economic boom of former President Goodluck Jonathan in six years!

More thousands of Nigerians have been paying to see these new Nollywood movies in the midst of the economic recession.
So, if the economy is bad, why are operators of Nigerian cinemas smiling to the banks more than they did before the new government of President Buhari?

"The Wedding Party" alone has made more than N200 million in three weeks at the cinemas!
And the producers spent only N60million.

Check out the following highest grossing Nollywood movies since the election of President Buhari.

The Wedding Party N200,000,000
By Ebonylife Films / FilmOne / Inkblot Production / Koga Studios
Directed by Kemi Adetiba.

A Trip To Jamaica N176,100,000.
By Corporate World Pictures
Directed by Robert Peters.

Fifty N94,030,500
By EbonyLife Films.
Directed by Biyi Bandele.

Wives on Strike N71,300,000
By Dioni Visions.
Directed by Omoni Oboli.

Cheers to President Muhammadu Buhari!

Then where did the millions of naira thousands of Nigerian movie-goers have spent at the cinemas during the recession come from?
From the clouds?

How do a business man get money to finance his project?

DecemberIV:


Are you now suggesting that cinema goers borrow money from banks or sell shares before they can afford to pay for their movie tickets?

May your hatred for Buhari not consume you.

Eazybay:
Well just like saying d bars and clubs are full because dea is no recession!

Na u heh go consume? Don't you see top organizations like banks,telecom operators like Glo sponsor such movies? What has buhari got do with private business?

It means the extent of the recession is exaggerated if you still have thousands of people across Nigeria with enough disposable income trooping to the club's every weekend, some to spend over 30k on each bottle of Hennessey.

DecemberIV:


Are the movies shown for free or do Nigerians pay to watch them with their disposable income?

Stop pretending to be incurably daft.

God will judge u harshly 4 dis dumb statement!! How many ppl dea have families depending on dem? Ppl break d bank just to feel among and u are saying trash! Myself for example, I can't purchase equipment 4 my biz cos it was 220 b4 but now 510k, not to talk of fuel and foodstuff (its a food processing biz). I try to pay my parents rent cos dad has bin laid off. Their bill just 4 light per month is 11k or more even in d darkest month. D govt will still come to stifle me wif tax making expansion plans difficult, I know what I made last 2yrs.. Abg just stop trying to paint dis bleak picture bright..

asuustrike2009:

Same with you if you can't reason and ask question without insults.
The movies are not free and the disposal income are coming from the set of Nigerians.The question you should have ask how come they suddenly start spending their money on watching local movies? What major factor prompt them to switch to local movies? How did the producers source for money to embark on such project? These are questions you should have asked without bringing PMB or insults.

DecemberIV:


Are you again suggesting that the cost of watching a foreign movie in the cinema is different from the cost of watching a local one? What links the disposable income of movie goers with the mode of finance that producers use?

The quality of your argument is simply appalling and I'd rather you don't mention me any further.

adconline:

What a display of congenital idiocy! We are talking about a shrinking economy of about $400bn in recession and you're using box office sales of N200m to measure the impact of rhis recession. Do you know how many SME businesses in Naija that used to do N200m in sales in a year that have gone bankrupt since this recession??
