This shows why eastern states thrive in entrepreneurship....no time for paid entertainment.

DeLaRue:
The surprising ones are Osun, and Ondo.

I didn't even know they had cinemas in those states.

I am sorry o, my people from Osun and Ondo. Respect.

People in the South West have a long history of going to the cinema that dates back to the 1970s. It is possible other regions don't have it as much.

SlavaUkraini:
No Cinema or dem nor dey watch movies for South East ?

Goo0dHardDick:
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

McLizbae:
No north no SE. What's happening in those regions?

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.

OVB123:
I don't really understand, why is it that in every economy indexes, Edo state is always at the top? Seeing the state in forth position surpassing the likes of Delta and Enugu state makes me to wonder.

AAADE:
Take a look at Abuja and Kwara

PDPdestroyer:
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

wellmax:
They will rather do piracy.

uvie66:
... how is it fake, as if we need statistics to tell us the obvious, was it going to be south east where IPOB and sit at home is rife or NE and NW where poverty, illiteracy, Banditry have decimated the populace that they have become refugees in their own Land. And it can never be the middle belt where the Muslims are at a loggerhead with the minority Christians.

Putinofrussia:
SW still has the highest SMEs,sir.

SmartPolician:
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.

Julius1995:
That is what they call economic capital all over the world. Or has the meaning changed? The joke is actually of place like Kano (with over 15 million population or even 20 m), Kaduna and the likes.
