Nigerian movie industry may be making gradual progress in the domestic cinemas, compared to foreign films, as record shows not less than N443 million were spent by Nigerians at various film houses in January alone
According to a statistics from Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria, CEAN, Movies like Up North, Chief Daddy, The Call, God’s Calling and King of Boyz collectively grossed N80.299 million in the first week of January. They account for around 45% of the N170 million spent at the cinema that week.
Also, at least 10 Nollywood movies made the top 20 highest grossing movies each week in January.
The statistics also show that Nigerians have cut back on the number of foreign movies they watch. In January, much of the cinema revenue went to Nollywood movies. For instance five of the ten highest grossing movies in January were Nollywood movies.
