Better to go ask those who have done so before.

No be for nairaland you go ask this question. Better keep at least 100M, unless you wan open football viewing centre.

Again, search google for Cinema equipment, research their cost. Factor in rentals, government regulatory licence fees, staff payment etc. Look for movie industry partners - you must have a licence to show their movies. They've a cut on every ticket sold or any other arrangements you have with them. It's a huge project bro.

Good luck

Thank you. we have already planned like £500,000, I guess it will be sufficient enough.

Not in Nigeria or any where in the world except you want to start what we call a SECOND RUN MOVIE THEATRE

1)DCI Projector from brands like barco and christe costs from 100,000 dollars to 600,000 dollars depending on what you want
2) sound proofing is expensive too
3) it you want my tips on this project you will have to pay for my knowledge but have it mind that stating a cinema is no joke and is an expensive venture that will cost you OVER 2MILLION dollars to setup

Wow I will think of it, but cinema depends. I think I can still build one with the money I budgeted.

Thanks. when I come to Nigeria by the end of the month I will enquire more, especially from owners.

I really want to know if this cinema kind of business yield enough money?
Like how much are you likely to get at the end of the day?
To be precise, is it lucrative?

Depends if it's a complex of say four room den well over a billion. Truth is nobody with d ability to build a cinema would ask on nairaland.

First the average cinema projector for d smallest ones will be over $50,000 dollar u need to get expatriate to maintain ur projectors. Now u will still have to get liencieng from major distributors to show Hollywood movies bro find anoda thing abeg.

You are incredulous. what is this forum all about then? isnt it about getting information about things you have zero idea for? besides do you own a cinema?

if you are not a sole owner of a cinema I can't take you serious.

No I am not u don't ask questions of projects of such complexity on a general forum for general knowledge. I don't own a cinema but bit I am deeply entrenched in the cinema industry.

Funny how clueless all of you guys are. Please ignore I think your budget Is enough. They are sizes of projectors . the LPs which uses lamps and the lesser projectors ( these are expensive ). They've got them in sizes too we have 10s 6e and so on you don't have to go full on its always safe to start small and grow.. you can always get a 6e barco projector and latter get bigger ones

You can always partner with other cinemas have them as the movie distributors and just ride with the wave instead of trying to be a distributor your self

700 million is way enough... You can always walk into a cinema speak to a manager and forget all of these guys dropping numbers and emails here and there.. bring up a topic and suddenly everyone is a pro in the subject

Cinema business is a big business if properly planned...

You sure can build one with less. I am also looking into building one in the future.

However; your location matters.

I already envisioned setting up a moderate one on the Elegushi beach. I am related to some of the princes especially 2 of them who we already talked about the idea.

A cinema on the beach will be very cozy and will be very inviting to a lot of young folks on the island and mainland of Lagos and this will be very unique because of the environment.

With my influence; we will be getting the land cheap and properly documented directly from the King.

Hello...

Given your budget at the time, it could have completed a moderate percentage but not the full project - this also depends on your business model actually.

However, I hope you were able to proceed and eventually complete this project?
