MOVIE TICKETS-N2.4Billion Spent By Nigerians


N2.4 Billion On Movie Tickets In 2021, Spent By Nigerians— Report

The report revealed that the highest ticket sales, N650m, were recorded during the holiday season from December 24, 2021, to January 2, 2022.

Despite the economic hardship, the Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria (CEAN) has revealed that Nigerians spent over N2.4 billion on movie tickets in 2021.

Also, the report revealed that the highest ticket sales, N650m, were recorded during the holiday season from December 24, 2021, to January 2, 2022.

‘Spiderman: No way home,’ ‘Christmas in Miami,’ and ‘Aki & Pawpaw’ were named the top three most viewed films in December.

The report also noted that 2021 saw a 100 per cent increase in ticket sales from N1.2billion in 2020. In 2019, revenue from ticket sales was N4.1 billion.

Similarly, at the close of 2021, a post-pandemic year, AY’s ‘Christmas in Miami’ led the list of the highest-grossing movies in the year, with total revenue of N205.78m within the first two weeks of its release.

However, despite the slow pace of business, 2021 was undoubtedly a good year for Nollywood as its filmmakers and practitioners smiled to the bank.

Funmi Akindele's Omo Ghetto’ the Saga made N636.129m at the box office, beating EbonyLife wedding party 1 & 2 (2018), which grossed about N453m and N433m, respectively.
