1 🟣Lagos — ₦7.94 billion [41]
2 🟠Abuja — ₦1.15 billion [5]
3 🟤Rivers — ₦1.04 billion [8]
4 🟤Edo — ₦975.23 million [8]
5 🟣Oyo — ₦869.14 million [11]
6 🟤Delta — ₦589.81 million [7]
7 🟣Ogun — ₦483.41 million [12]
8 🟣Osun — ₦331.49 million [3]
9 🟣Ondo — ₦281.52 million [2]
10 🟠Kwara — ₦183.46 million [2]

🟠NC 🟤SS 🟣SW

Total Box Office Revenue (Nigeria cinemas) — ₦15.64 billion

Lagos alone generated ₦7.94 billion — 50.8% of the national total.

The combined revenue of the next 9 top states (Abuja, Rivers, Edo, Oyo, Delta, Ogun, Osun, Ondo, Kwara) is approximately ₦5.90 billion.

Lagos out-earned the next nine contenders combined by over ₦2 billion. If Lagos cinemas were removed, half the industry's revenue would disappear.

I love credible data... one can do so much with it. BTW, this data is from FilmOne; NBC should be the credible source of such information.

Re: Top 10 States That Generates The Most Revenue From Movie Theaters by PDPdestroyer(m): 7:54pm On Feb 03
Most of the viewers in this top 10 are Ibos. The locals don’t have money for movies.
The reason why there’s no SE state in the top 10 is because of the port in Lagos, if you noticed, all the states in the top 10 have ports……blah blah blah grin

I don waka for 2am before for lagos sef not once. We had a delayed flight in Abuja one evening.. aero messed up. We had spent barely 25 minutes in the air when the pilot suddenly came out to address us, that there was a technicali issue. It was one of their propeller aircrafts. He said we'd have to fly back to Abuja to fix the problem. On getting to abuja, the problem was resolved but a lot of passengers on board said they wouldn't want to risk flying the plane to lagos, they went straight to the town. When we were about taking off, the engine shut down about 2 minutes after starting it. That's why passengers actually disembarked and left the tarmac. They came to tell us that they needed to refuel.

We now left Abuja around 12:45am. I still met people on the road as I was driving home on arrival in lagos

No South East in the top 10 list? Does it mean that there are no cinema centres there at all or they are not just among the top 10 ?

Since none of "half of yellow sun state" is included, it becomes fake statistics.
Re: Top 10 States That Generates The Most Revenue From Movie Theaters by Goo0dHardDick: 8:03pm On Feb 03
All these people shouting no SE should get sense!

The average Igbo man would rather be in his shop than to waste his time at the theater

No wonder this thread is dry. South Easterners have quietly exited the WhatsApp group.
