That list is outdated. Besides Godzilla Vs Kong was released in March. Although, 31st march in US which you're quoting.

Godzilla Vs Kong is a good Movie and heads shoulder tail and dï©k better than Monster Hunter pile of crap. See the movie yourself and be the judge.

Boss. A movie released march 31st would not be on that list. It will too early to conclude.
I have seen Godzilla vs Kong. What exactly is the plot ? Where ia the suspense, thril of watching. It is just there. What you seek in movies might be diffrent from mine. The visual effect? The story line? Suspense? Acting ?
A rating of 6/10 for me .

abduleez1:
I don't understand this bolded.
But those numbers you posted are for Cinema/Theater movies and not Streaming. Streamers don't post revenue accrued from individual movies. There's hardly a way to calculate streaming content success except from Number of Views and popularity.

Also, on the piracy ish you talking about, the people who pirate the movies in the first place, the kings of piracy aren't even Africans. So I don't get the we don't buy movies. Asians are mainly the ones who make movies available for download online. So yea, they also don't pay for movies.

How can it be fron Cinemas when they have/had been locked all these while? Yes. Revenues from streaming services are posted.

"When it came to new titles, family films "became a dominant force" both at theaters and at home, with films like The Croods 2, Tom & Jerry, and Raya and the Last Dragon all posting sturdy numbers at the box office and healthy streams on digital platforms." . ... https://ew.com/movies/highest-grossing-movies-pandemic-box-office/



As per piracy. Am i wrong that we dont buy movies ? Asians could be king of piracy or anything. I am talking about us here.

abduleez1:
Which covid era? Why is Knives Out a "covid era" movie. Wasn't it released late 2019?

Why is Godzilla Vs Kong absent from your list?

Yeah! That's true. It is 2019 movie. I had watch it during the covid lock down and it was one of my best lockdown day ever .

Godzilla Vs Kong has just been released. The list i put up there is from march 2020 to march 2021.
What's the fuss about the Godzilla vs Kong anyway? It is grossing because it was marketed well. It would have just been another Hunter Monster without the franchise and marketing .

pu7pl3:
I'm the only one in this world that hasn't seen that Tom and Jerry movie and I don't think I will

You can get the 4k version and watch on your tv for kids. Lol. Might see it soon sha.
What is your current best movie. Please dpnt say kong vs Godzilla .

Nickshrapnel:
In the US?

All over the world from people that pay for movies on Online streaming platforms
We majorly download movies for free here. We don't buy.

Should incase you are wondering the top grossing movies in this covid pandemic era. Here is thr list of top 20.

I think some of you will agree with me that "grossing movies" doesn't make it a good movie. If we are to go by great "covid era "movies , Knives out, trial of chicago seven would be among top 3 .

jaxxy:
The person from SE reporting the crime is a criminal too bah? U bigots shud think properly now.

Don't mind the poster. He is just trying to say nonsense to gather likes and mentions. This vandalism is everywhere in Nigeria. It is not particular to any tribe .

BigBashiru:
This is the glaring truth.

It is. People are just doing things with so much impunity

We are our own problem in this country.
It happens all over the country.. Nepa take light, few minutes after, you hear say dem don thief transformer wire.

brandsoncharlie:
How is it an act?
Who is the actor?
What purpose or aim?
So the real life scenario you see on social media is acting?

So, you will allow someone to take a picture of you while you mind your business? For what reason will this happen and someone will take a clear picture. Most of thr real life senarios you think you see on social media are acted

Should it concern you?
E no concern me .

Don't you think this is an act? The guy , the ladies and who took the picture are likely actors. They have got your attention. That's the aim.

Anigreat:




In a saner clime that useless idiotic Umar would have been gnashing his teeth now in jail for assaulting poor Sargwak, but here the useless idiotic umar is busy calling those who came to defend poor Sargwak 'Biafran boys miscreant' because he knows nothing wil happen after all. And someone would say Nigeria is a country.. thunder fire your mouth.

They have arrested another person, the man that videoed the incident sef

Soolmus:
yes incoming President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all defunct ACN members are very decent

I could have called you decent because you sometimes comment intellectually but unfortunately you are sentimental about PDP and IPOB

.

Incoming president?
Too soon. Too soon.

Of all the whole candidates out there? We are even yet to see contestants from other parties and we are already pushing a former nigerian leader to lead again.

Nigerians,we are responsible for the problems of Nigeria.
Yes. We are Nigeria's problem.

hatakekakashi:
You shouldn't let all the rubbish you see on nairaland get to you. You don't even know if it's one kid behind the moniker

We need to put them in their place. Some of us don't let it get to us . Some people, it gets to them . A first timer, guest or even foreigners that visits will assume it is true

YorubaLord:
Mad man, I no fit blame you... only if you knew how much damage Okoro pple have done to Lagos.

Gtfo!! The igbos are not your problem. Go your village gp find the source of your problem . Damn you!. Kati kati .

YorubaLord:
Na Okoro pple as usual dey deface and destroy government Properties. They're too savage!

Oga. Abeg go sit down. This isnt one to be tribalistic about. Infact ,you shouldn't be trbalistic about it. For a fact, i will tell you that the interstate parks are being run by Yorubas and it is dirty. So, stop trying to be tribalistic. Take your Yoruba lordship elsewhere.

I dislike tribalism.

travelwaka:
Firstly, these pictures were taken this month, secondly from the above pictures above you'd see that I specifically took all the inner pictures from terminal one which is the location you just spoke about because it is well utilized.

The inter state drivers might not be hygience conscious like the BRT drivers. However, I didn't notice the so called oil litter when i visited. May be a picture from you will help.

You have answered that you expect more maintenance on the property. The major activities are being carried out outside . Inside seems so scanty for a terminal.

@ bolded. These people need to be taught maintenance and hygiene. I visit frequently

mmsen:
We need to start holding people who destroy public property.

Yes we need to . Gross indiscipline. See streetlights, under bridges, traffic lights. FIBRE cables, roads and many others. The way people spoil these things ehn... i forgot to mention Drainages. SEE EHN NIGERIANS ARE NIGERIA'S PROBLEM

Nigeria ehn. Suffer no dey tire us? Ordeliness, maintenance , incorruptible no dey our dictionary . Even to plan events well, we no fit.

travelwaka:
Hmmmmmm this is wrong information. Terminal 1 is for interstate buses, since Lagos buses don't do interstate, that part is controlled by the regular interstate buses. It is however still being managed by the government. You can get a bus to location in Nigeria from Terminal 1. there are buses going to the South west, south east and the north and there are plans to add more route.

That place gan gan is dirty

Maintenance is zero.
They have started spoiling things there . You didn't show us the space they gave the Park busses. Last time i went there, it has become dirty and i was wondering when the Terminal was finished.

Seriously, We need to stop defacing goverment properties and care for it. It is for our own benefit. Mechanics will just come there be pouring engine oil on the floor making the road looking black and soggy like the devil's highway.


@Travelwaka. No lie, can you say that this facility is properly maintained ?

The way we are going about this thing in this country. Religion will kill us alll.
Humanity first before Religion . Religion should govern you personally and not be imposed on others

kkins25:
by who's standard? Society, the restaurant or you?

All of what you mentioned above sir. Can she wear such dress to attend a university lecture?

kkins25:
sorry bro, I know what u mean. The spelling no concern me, the answer is what I am after. U haven't answered the question.

I amswered you saying an indecent dressing is what the girl had on when she went to the restaurant

kkins25:
so what does it mean to be indescent?

Lol. Indecent . I mean jare.

What it means to be indecent is what that lady wore out in public.

kkins25:
you cant make the strike out comment and add the bolded part above. In some states like kano, even boob ckrack on display is absolutely immoral.

So all the girls wey dey here, according to someelses standard, y'all are whores. So relax. Instead of joining men fight for their way of seeing the world, you should collaborate with your fellow women(female) and start dictating how you live your lives.

I dont understand what you wrote. I am sayin how you choose to live your left isn't our business but when you do it in public when it wasnt asked for, it becomes wrong. Cant claim a saint. Could have had my share of beiing with indescent girls et all but won't encourage to be done in public. For God' s we have minors out there.

pocohantas:
Lol. Same question I used to ask myself when I see them on Instagram.

We should all pray never to fail in our parental duties, especially giving a child education. Once you fail in this, you lose 87.143% of your hold on your kids.

Take a look at Otedola. If he tells Cuppy to jump, she’ll ask how high. It is not because he is rich, it is because he has not failed in his duties as a FATHER. So no matter how she rebels, she will still remember she owes him a lot.

Now you see these small small girls going naked on IG? A lot of them left their parents in Asaba, Illorin and Amukoko to come hustle in Lagos/Lekki and environs. Some are the ones paying the fees of their younger ones at the tender age of 23. Some are the ones paying the rent of the houses they live in with their families.

Remember that small one that Lil Frosh beat up? What is a small girl like that doing alone in a Lekki apartment? Considering she isn’t from an influential home. She left her family to come hustle. Not get a degree, but HUSTLE.

So, forget about where their parents are, Power has changed hands. Na them be the parent now.

Poco poco. Wisdom. You are right especially that it is coming from you, a lady. You just gave me another view to this Instagram and twitter unclothedness . I use to think it is for lout only. We are losing it in this country. Morality and decency is being thrown out.
Before before things like these were done in the secret. As a child then,when we mistakenly see a woman wearing tigh leggins from the waist down, we close our eyes . Before you go see thar kind thing sef...you,sef know where you waka go.

Now, soft porn is everywhere. Every kids have seen it all . Ashawo no dey come out only for night again. No body holy pass o but no force your looks on people. Let people select what they want to see .

hollah123:
Asgard13...u no dey tire?
u keep attacking everyone presidential candidate,please who is Igbos presidential candidate?

If northerner talk ,u bark
if southerner talk, u scream.
others are busy promoting their own but u are here busy attacking everyone.

present your own candidate n drum support for him,

who is Igbo presidential candidate?

So, we have started promoting Tinubu as a presidential candidate? Hmmn hmmmn. NIGERIANS SHA.
Isn't it too early?

BennyDGreat:
Nothing really happens by coincidence

What about those that says it and nothing happens?

Could be coincidental. An accident .
If he had said it and not died we wouldn't be bothered. A lot of peoplr say things like this and nothing happnes to them afterwards .

When will our politicians be sentenced to death bu hanging too?
Seven years ago o. The law seems to be for the masses / poor and peoppe without connections.
