    Cinema Report: Moviegoers Spend N492.1m in January as Nollywood Movies Dominate Box Office

    Cinema Report: Moviegoers Spend N492.1m in January as Nollywood Movies Dominate Box Office

    Movie theatre attendance in Nigerian cinemas is slowly recovering after the nightmare of 2020. This is evident in the recent stats released by the Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria (CEAN).

    The report shows that moviegoers in Nigeria spent N492.15 million at cinemas in the month of January despite “Detty December” being over.

    Although this is a drop from the N512.52 million spent during the festive month of December and N551.9 million spent in January last year, it’s a massive improvement from the amount spent in most months in 2020.

    Also, the data provided shows that Nigerian cinemas across the country admitted 360,928‬ movie watchers in January. Although this is lower than the 442,173‬ movie watchers in January 2020, it’s one of the highest cinema attendance numbers post-lockdown.

    This shows that Nigerians are now going back to cinemas after the restrictions of the lockdown.

    Nollywood movies dominate Box Office in January

    What’s more impressive is the fact that Nigerian movies dominated the top 10 most-watched films in cinemas during the month. This means that Nigerians watched less foreign movies in January.

    This trend is similar to what happened last year and is probably associated with the fact that only very few blockbuster Hollywood movies are released between December-January.

    OmoGhetto is now the highest grossing movie of all time

    The dominance of Nollywood is worth celebrating considering the fact that until recently, Nollywood movies have always lost out to foreign movies.

    The month picked up on a high note with cinemas making N205.7 million with movies like Omo Ghetto, Wonder Woman 1984, DOD and Quam’s Money leading the charts. 

    As expected, the highest-grossing week of the month came in the first full week of the year.

    Omo Ghetto was the most-watched movie of the month despite debuting in December 2020. The movie alone accounted for more than 60% of the total amount spent on movies in January.

    Other Nollywood movies in the top 5 also made giant strides in the month. Wonder Woman, the only Hollywood movie that made the list also saw good numbers accounting for over N35 million spent in the month.

    Notably, the last 2 full weeks in the month had grosses below N100 million. The third week grossed N72.5 million while the fourth week was even lower at N61.9 million.

    Week 4 numbers

    For the month of love, the prospect of higher numbers looks promising with notable events like Valentines Day most likely to see the month’s grossing soar.

    However, the most important factor is the availability of interesting and love themed movies to ride on the festivities.

    For many people, managing money and knowing the ri For many people, managing money and knowing the right opportunities to invest in is still a challenge. A survey of over 2,000 youths in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Cote D’Ivoire by Geopoll revealed that more young Nigerians only save after spending than their counterparts in other countries.

More youths in Tanzania and Uganda set aside a fixed amount to save than in Nigeria and Ivory Coast, who are more likely to save what remains after spending

The popularity of apps like @Piggybankng and @Cowrywise has made more people curious about saving, investing and creating a financial strategy to grow their money. However, there is need for more apps that take a more deliberate and friendly approach towards gaining financial intelligence and map out a sustainable path to monetary stability.

This is where Fundall comes in. @get_Fundall is a fintech service whose app is available for download on android and iOS.

    Things are gradually returning to normal as the nu Things are gradually returning to normal as the number of covid-19 cases continues to fall. Although it may take a while before we hug people or shake hands without second thoughts, things are getting better.

Only 523 new cases were recorded between April 6 and 13. This is a slight increase compared to the 497 people that tested positive over the previous week. Two weeks earlier, Technext reported that 584 people tested positive.

The numbers show a sustained decrease in the spread of infections across the country. Indeed the Lagos state government is now confident enough to allow event centres and relaxation centres to increase their crowd capacity. Along with that, here are other developments during the week.

    Today, @Google unveils a Doodle to posthumously ma Today, @Google unveils a Doodle to posthumously mark the 74th birthday of Nigerian music legend and highlife maestro Oliver de Coque, one of Africa’s most prolific recording artists of all time.

The Doodle, created by Lagos-based graphic artist and illustrator @OhabTBJ, pays tribute to the guitarist who died in June 2008 at the age of 61, following a heart attack. The creative inspiration was drawn from De Coque’s love for the guitar, his energetic performance style, his unique music brand, and his love of tradition and culture.

    The use of Point of Sale (PoS) machines in Nigeria The use of Point of Sale (PoS) machines in Nigeria is growing but a majority of this growth is concentrated in the country’s economic capital, Lagos. According to NIBSS Instant Payment stats, the state recorded the largest number of PoS transactions in the country.

The report shows that Lagos accounted for about 70% of the total volume of PoS transactions in 2020. This represents a 100% growth in the volume of PoS transactions in the state as the volume of PoS transactions rose from 226 million in 2019 to over 453 million at the end of 2020.
