Can you now see how you are getting yourself busted
1. You just agreed with me that Papa Ajasco and his group members are known in African countries (fantastic - always calm down to read)
2. Get your facts right, NOLLYWOOD has second largest movies production by volume - bunch of substandard movies - Thanks to Yorubas for bring NOLLYWOOD into international glaring

You want to deny mentioning Odunlade Adekola right

Yeye dey smell

I have goTV and I know there is African magic Igbo whenever I scroll but I don't know any Igbo actor

Give me any Igbo actor that can speak well like Lateef Adedimeji without their igbotic accent

Did you just say NOLLYWOOD is the 2nd largest movie production but in ranking of best movies production Nollywood is not in top 10

So what are you saying?

"2nd largest Production by volume" bunch of substandard movies that has not gone beyond Nigeria

If there is actors that known in other African countries it will be the likes of Papa Ajasco etc

Stop celebrating mediocrity

Donmobi:
volume kwa?
What's the difference with what you just wrote and LARGEST PRODUCING??
As to the first line, i did put "perhaps" some African countries might.
This isn't a big feat mate, this one you're celebrating it, igbo actors are known almost globally from our movies.

Donmobi:
lol.
Atleast your sense of humour is trying.
Don't know your Lateef, but as to epiccultural igbo movies using english as the main language to appeal to a large scale audience, even yoruba actors come to play roles in those films. I do know Odunlade, real talented lad.

ForumNL:

Is that a reasonable celebration

Large volume but not in top 10 best movie industry

Does that make any sense?
Woh, I'm out of this conversations

Only an Igbo will see verifiable facts and data and still argue

Just as I told you before, it's a gradual process, give it time, classical movies started recently big thanks to the Yorubas

The question you should ask is that, over the years why has none of the substandard Nollywood movies won any international award or get recognized by Netflix

Donmobi:
igbo dominated movies was even the first to enter Netflix, mate.
It's obvious you don't even know what you're talking about.

sorry to interrupt but i just feel you should know how it works. "Highest grossing" only applies to the cinema movies which is just a fraction of the industry. For instance, the most commercially successful nollywood movie is Lion heart but it's not even shown among highest grossing movies because it was released on a streaming platform.
Secondly, 'highest grossing' rating standard is not a true reflection of commercial success because it captures only sales revenue without subtracting it from the cost of production, promotion and cinema share. If a movie grosses 100 million, we might never know if 10 million was the actual profit. But someone outside the cinema produced a movie with 10million and 'grossed' 20million made more success because his approach is more economically sustainable, and he is more likely to produce more.

The most popular streaming site for Nollywood movies are

1. Netflix : In 2018, Netflix acquired LionHeart. Currently, there are a host of other Nollywood movies on Netflix including King of Boys, Up North, The Vendor, Moms at War, Mokalik, Chief Daddy and more.

2. Showmax
With movies like The lost cafe, Ojukokoro, Roti, 93 days, and Banana island ghost on its platform,
3. NollyLand
4. IrokoTV
5. YouTube
6. Filmland etc

And all these movies in the link here are on these streaming platforms

If they can get that amount from cinema alone then they have millions running into their account through other platforms

Lastly
Please take note that budget is there

The budget include cost of production and promotion

For instance Wedding party 2 budget is #60,000,000 and box office is #453,000,000

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wedding_Party_(2016_film)

Another one is Omo Ghetto
Is the only the second movie in English speaking West Africa to cross the ₦600 million at box office mark after Black Panther

You are repeating what you stated that made me quote you without improving your argument. Netflix acquired lionheart for 3.8 million dollars.if it were a cinema movie, it would be grossing over 2 billion naira from today's exchange rate! yet, the people who produced the movie are your traditional nollywood personalities.

Again, Njoku of Iroko did a research before investing in nollywood and found out that cinema holds only about 5%, while DVD and cable TV holds the rest. He chose to open a streaming channel and a TV channel. Today, he is the richest person in nollywood.

That is why i say the people you chose to slight are the ones who sustain nollywood. They are the ones who connect to African audience, they have traditional faces in nollywood because they are most widely watched.

ForumNL:


Why leaving the real deal to discuss same thing that have explained up there

Since you want to play around, I'm ready for you

Lionsheart box office is #21.3million (lol, e shock u) so don't even dream of 2 billion naira, lol

Source : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionheart_(2018_film)


1. The way you people always draft lies, which data show that cinema has 5%?
2. Is like you were with him when he did they research haba!
Igbo why now
3. In this generation who is still using DVD ?

You've been talking since, bring unverifiable data, all your thoughts here without legit source

Is it about the population of Nigerians that have been to cinema or where you as a producer can make your money, saying cinema is 5% is a big error from you

Now I understand where Peter Obi is coming from, just talk anyhow, spill mind whether correct or wrong

Don't go astray, the main point is that Yorubas dominate Nollywood

List those who sustain Nollywood?

President of Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria, CEAN, Mr. Patrick Lee recently opened up on why they are showing more foreign films than local ones in the Nigerian box office.


Lee said their action become necessary following the high demand for foreign films by the theatre goers.

CEAN boss was responding to Nollywood producers, who accused the cinema owners of not only rivalling them in terms of film production, but also, devoting more time and space to foreign films at the detriment of local ones in the country’s box office.

However, defending the action of the cinema owners, while speaking at the maiden edition of Film4Life conference on the business of film making, organized in memory of late Chris Ekejimbe, which held recently in Lagos, Lee revealed that as business people they are responding to the needs of their customers.

According to him, following a research carried out by them on the type of films people like to watch, over 50 per cent of the respondents indicted interest in action movies, while 70 percent of others preferred to watch thriller and romance movies.

“Based on the research, as an exhibitor, I have to take that information very seriously. And so, when I’m doing my scheduling, I have to put that into consideration. For instance, if I have an action movie, be it a Hollywood film, the truth of the matter is that it’s what my customers want to see,” he explained.
I’m experimenting with ‘House of Talents’— Andy Boyo

Explaining further, Lee said cinema goers usually pay for three things; the story line, excitement level of the films and the special effects and stars featured in the movies. And these attributes are not lacking in when it comes Hollywood movies. “That’s how the look at Hollywood movies,” he said, adding “Hollywood movies doesn’t have to have fantastic story line, but if it has very good special effect, the audience will pay to watch the film.”

“Unfortunately, in terms of Nollywood, we haven’t gotten to that point of special effect. So, we have to compensate with something else. We haven’t reached the level, where we can pay huge amount of money to be able to get to that special effect level.”

Lee, however, urged the federal government to subsidized the amount paid by theatre goers to watch movies in the cinemas at least for five years. This, he said will encourage the cinema owners to start showing more Nollywood movies in the box office.

I have warned you that a nigerian movie is on cinema doesn't make it good. It is misleading to use cinema grossing to rate nollywood movies. foreign movies still dominate nigerian cinema and your local movies are performing poorly.
