The Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria (CEAN) has generated more than ₦482million as revenue across all cinemas in Nigeria in July.
Compared to the ₦567million generated in June, the amount represents about 15% drop.
National Chairman of CEAN, Opeyemi Ajayi, said total viewer admission in cinemas across the federation within the month under review was 218,395.
According to him, cinemas experienced a slight increase in patronage in July due to the numerous public holidays in the month. He encouraged more Nigerians to consider visiting the cinemas during their leisure to unwind.
“We recorded a total sales of ₦482,528,117 for July with 218,395 viewers in the cinemas.
“The cinemas are not doing bad but we encourage more Nigerians to cultivate the habit of visiting the cinemas,” he told the News Agency of Nigeria in an interview in Lagos.
Ajayi added that the movies to be exhibited in cinemas for the month of August are ‘Akudaaya’, ‘Meg 2’, ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja’, ‘A Bag of Trouble’, ‘Blue beetle’, ‘Mikolo’, ‘The Modern Woman’, ‘Retribution’ and ‘Kesari’.
