Cinema movies and their grossing are a scam. Yoruba movie makers are noise makers. Igbos are blessed. With little budget they make Interesting movies and huge profits. While your "high class" over valued craps won't sell except when people hang out on holidays in the cinema with popcorn. Imagine having Aki and paw paw in a cinema and given the hype your over valued craps are given, cinema houses will collapse. Go and learn business from people who know and swallow your pride. Yorubas are struggling to make good movies but seems unable to connect with Nigeria and African audience. Asaba/Enugu axis is the grassroots of nollywood and it's pillar and will remain so. If you don't like it, go to court.

Take several seats.

The YouTube link you posted has the title buh na another movie dey inside...no be today I started using YouTube, do you how many times I tried downloading Lionheart buh na another movie go dey the file...no be today...


You are say a movie that makes nearly #700 and #350 mill are crap that sold on holiday...which holiday wan make #700m when we no even have the Cinema house capacity in Nigeria ( how many Cinema house dey East).... at least they make huge buck, please post highest Asaba grosser make we see...... You do see Asaba movie shot with drone before?


The few movies from that side like Aki and Pawpaw that makes Cinema grade didn't do too well... Why didn't the producers go the Asaba CDs route buh Common sense in them choose Cinema house not CDs, even the producers no live in medieval times they wan make better money wey Asaba no fy provide... This is Aki and Pawpaw cinema at 19 position, very poor for a household brand...

Mention the more popular one.



We are talking about class here..

Not all those low budget production that can't grace Netflix page!

Armaggedon:
you are a fool. All the movies are in the links are correct. Go get data. King of boys and wedding party couldn't get 200k views despite the hype. The movies are starring at you face to face and you are showing me Wikipedia link. Do you need Wikipedia link to visit YouTube? You are now yapping incoherently because you can't believe your eyes. People are not interested in your overvalued out-of-touch movies. I can show you more of your "high grossing" movies and how they are performing on YouTube. Infact, they are always shown on ROK1 DStv and people still ignore it to go after "Asaba movies". Ask anyone who subscribes because I know you don't have access to genuine information. Regular movies rake in millions of views while your overhyped craps are ignored. If people can't watch them for free on YouTube, why will they pay to watch them in the cinema?

Taa! Run away from here.

Bulldozer90:
Are you for real? Those are the real movies in the link. Stop making senseless argument.

Wealthoptulent:
all of them are planks together!
Make nollywood rest, dem no dey try

Georgejeez:
I watched the So called Gangs of Lagos recently, didn't understand anything cos it was majorly Yoruba and no subtitle ....,

Be that as it may , if not for Epic and the Asaba wood , many people wouldn't purchase and subscribe Gotv

Those Cinema movies might be grade A or whatever but the real version that gives you the Nigerian feeling is the Asaba movies , reason the elderlies , women , children , House wives etc don't joke with it ....

Wealthoptulent:

No its not a movie, thats Bermuda Triangle pic.
I dunno if was sculptured outter movie tho

greypencils:
Are you giving an award for quality or quantity? Where is the quality in Asabawood?

Rinoxy:
Those your kind of dramas don't show on my DStv unless I'm not around. Upgrade is key. EOD.

It seems you don't understand yoruba. Yoruba movies are really really Interesting, from the old ones to few new ones.
Take several seats.

MSGAMBLE9:
Use Google check the highest grossing movie in Nigeria and clear your doubt.... which useless IQ damaging Asaba movie is represented there, you will even see Yoruba film like Anikulapo, King of thieves etc. not Asaba eyesore..


Or maybe Yoruba also owns MultiChioce, All Cinema house and Streaming giant (Prime Amazon, Netflix) that they manipulate the numbers...



Una wailing no be today buh for Eternity... Children of hate.

TUTU147:
Asabawood actors are doing well,I love the way Igbos took movie out of lagos because of too much disturbance from agberos.Asaba is calm and peaceful.The state government even build a film village.Non of the recent winners can lead the noble actors guild of nigeria.

ORIENTATION101:
in your dreams😂.
How many Edo's won the award or made nomination list.
Open your eyes igbos have been restricted to Asabawood.
For the past 5yrs amvca awards, yorubas have been literally sweeping the awards and also dominated the nomination list

Princedapace:
How about those yoruba movies they show on African magic yoruba? Why didnt u talk down at them?
U obviously wanted to achieve something and u have done it.

Every little opportunity, Nigerians use it to bash them selves along tribal line.
U didnt mention those boring movies and actors in Yoruba movies who act in african magic yoruba or those who act in african magic hausa, u chose to insult some people becus of tribe or to win tribal sentiments.

But do u know the catch? Those names u mentioned are big that is why u know them. The ones acting in African magic yoruba, I doubt u even know any of them sef to mention their name

misano:
The top films today are produced by Netflix and Amazon Prime. Where did Yorubas come in.

If U list the up and doing actresses in Nigeria currently the list is loaded with Edo girls. Please try to mention 10 actress that are new in the industry and U will see that Edo girls are shining.

pietrodark:
I can say this because I have been part of a low budget and a big budget production, I have also produced short films so I know what it takes.

Why Nollywood is a force to be reckoned with today started with low budget movies, such as Living in Bondage, True Confessions and the other epic flicks. Most of today's well known legends such as Pete Esochie, Justus Esiri of blessed memory, and Nkem Owoh had their big break from NTAs Things Fall Apart, a low budget production even for its standard back in the day.

Aki and PawPaw are global sensations because of what? Asabawood, as you would call it. It sounds funny.

Is there such a thing as a bad movie? Maybe there is. But just because you call a movie bad, doesn't mean it won't make money. You see those low budget movies produced by the 'Asabawood' industry as you claim. Guess where their market is? It's not in Nigeria, it's in Benin, Togo, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Zambia and Zimbabwe. If they make 1,000 copies of a film for the Nigerian market, best believe that over 15,000 goes out of the country.

I take nothing away from the productions of today, they are much better, graphics and production is a lot better than it was. But it doesnt make shooting a low budget film any easier.

Try shooting your own film first, budget for the cast and crew, produce, and pay distribution, market it and tell me if it's easy. I will clap for you.

Even the movies at the Cinemas, the Cinemas take up to 40 percent of whatever the film makes, by the time you're done paying tax, paying for marketing and distribution, A & R and whatnot.

See ehn, big budget or low budget, we are doing a good job. There's a reason the Zambian house of Assembly once moved a motion on the floor of their assembly to ban Nigerian movies... Because their people were starting to learn Nigerian mannerisms.

Let's try to criticize constructively, not destructively. No one has lived long enough to earn the right to judge another. No one.

MSGAMBLE9:
80%? I guess Okoro make up all Nigerians... People In SW don't even know what AM Epic is, na AM Yoruba or have you seen Northerners tune to Epic before when AM Hausa dey there....



Okoro men overstating their important.. bcoz Okoro men no see AMVCA collect..
Una no fy Compete in Cinema and Streaming age.

Shame

thatigboman:
the tribalism started from the Op that created the thread "I Like How When It Comes To The AMVCA Awards, They Always Ignore Asabawood Actors". so u want SS and SE to clap for you for insulting their people?

Winner90:
Bitterness is written all over your post yet you call people "children of hate"

Back to the topic. If you remove the few so called highest grossing movies, nollywood will still stand strong. If the regular movies you are trying to blackwash are removed, nollywood will be gone.

A lot of those movies like shantytown, Anikulakpo, blood sisters etc are Netflix original. It's not as if they are regular movies that the platform found "worthy enough" to feature.

Also, movie grossing high neither proves it's profitable nor even interesting. Cinema houses themselves take up a large sum of the profit, much money is also spent by the the producers promoting the movie, then paying large crew and taxes. After paying extra money for the cinema houses to feature their movies on important holidays like Christmas and New year day, they wait year long for it to gross. In the end, their take home profit might not reach 100 percent of the cost. Whereas someone in Asaba will invest few millions and recover more than it in months. Chill bro.

Librason:
"Igbos have been restricted to Asabawood "

Are asabawood only made up of igbos?
