    Nigerian Cinemas Made Only N223.62M Revenue in February as Moviegoers Drop by 50%

    Nigerian Cinemas Made Only N223.62M Revenue in February as Moviegoers Drop by 50%

    Movie theatre attendance in Nigerian cinemas saw a major setback in February. The numbers had earlier started to show great recovery after seeing high numbers in December 2020 and January 2021 but have relapsed in the recent stats released by the Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria (CEAN).

    The report shows that Nigerian cinemas across the country admitted 177,220‬ movie watchers in February. This is a significant drop from 360,928‬ movie watchers admitted in January and the over 360,000 persons that visited Nigerian cinemas during the same month last year.

    Cinema Report: Nigerian Cinemas Made Just N223.62M in February as Moviegoers Drop by 50%

    The decline in moviegoers reflected in revenue generated by cinemas during the month as Nigerians spent N223.62 million in February.

    This is a drop from the N492.15 million spent in theatres all over the country in January, and a massive decline year-on-year. In February 2020, Nigeria spent N412.04 million at cinemas. 

    A breakdown shows that the highest-grossing week of the month came in the third week, with cinemas grossing over N73.25 million.

    This was not unexpected as February (February 14 – 16) is associated with love. This saw many people stroll to the cinemas to have a delightful time with their loved ones.

    Over the Valentine weekend (February 12 – 14), Nigerian cinemas raked in over N52.58m from over 36,000 moviegoers

    Other weeks in the month, however, had poor entries, with cinema operators making less than N50m each week. Even the last weekend, saw cinema operators make just N34 million from moviegoers.

    Nigerian cinemas did not make up to N100 million during any week in February.

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

    Nollywood movies continue to dominate Box Office

    Riding off the high of the previous month, Nollywood movies continued to dominate the top 10 most-watched films in cinemas during the month. This means that local content was the prefered choice of movie lovers in February.

    In February 2020, cinema operators made over N190.29m from Nollywood movie attendance. While for Hollywood, they made just N33.92m. Together, they accounted for about 99% of the total grossing in February.

    This a significant reversal of the trend from a year ago indicating that Hollywood’s contribution has dropped by over 84% from the N217 million cinemas made in February 2020. Nollywood on the other hand increased by 13% year-on-year.

    Nollywood’s, Omo Ghetto, despite being released last year, still tops the country’s box office. Since its release, the movie has made N615.8m in Nigerian cinemas and over 100 million in February alone.

    Omo Ghetto alone accounted for more than 45% of the total amount spent on movies in February.

    Other Nollywood movies in the top 5 also made giant strides in the month. Still Falling raked in over N23 million and Fine Wine made over N20 million during the month.

    Hollywood movie, Little Things raked in N11.9 million, the highest in the Hollywood category in February. Since its release in January, the movie has grossed N16.4 million.

    Other Hollywood movies like Tom and Jerry that debuted in February has been performing well, raking in about N5 million in its first week.

    The growing gap between Hollywood movies and Nollywood movies can be attributed to the shortage over the past year due to COVID-19 related delays.

    However, with blockbusters and fan favourites like Coming 2 America and Godzilla vs. Kong coming to cinemas in March, both cinema attendance and Hollywood contribution are poised to increase.

    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.
