Kemi Adetiba’s King of Boys movie has proven that Nigerians are willing to watch a Nollywood non-comedy film in the cinema.

Like I promised earlier, I’ll share my experience at the cinema with you.

I watched King of Boys at Ozone Cinema in Yaba, Lagos and it was the first time I had to be on a queue to enter the theater where a movie I wanted to watch was scheduled to show. By the time I got in and secured a seat, I noticed that they had to bring in plastic chairs to accommodate viewers. The room was packed full.

Trust the Nigerian audience, they made it more fun to watch as different individuals made funny comments in response to what some characters in KOB had done or said. It was an energetic audience.

There were different episodes of applauds, unified laughter like we planned it and at some point unified screaming. Yes, like that scene were Makanaki asked one of his guys to bite the table. OMG! You needed to hear literally everyone in the theater scream like they felt the pain.

Trust me guys, Kemi Adetiba shifted the bar some good inches higher. Nollywood standard just went up.

Saw this movie yesterday and it happened to be the best Nollywood movie I've seen this year. Makanaki and Alhaja Salami were the bomb characters.

Just finished watching it on Netflix and it's the very best nollywood movie ever made. The story, presentation and acting was top notch, even surprised seeing artists that have never been into acting perform better than some veterans in the game. Big kudos to kemi adetiba for this one.

best nollywood movie in decades. 3 hours and exciting. kemi tried
