The Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria (CEAN) yesterday said it generated N441 million from tickets sold across the country last month.
The National Chairman of CEAN, Mr Opeyemi Ajayi, made this known while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
Ajayi said the admission of viewers into cinemas across the federation, for the period under review was 174,071.
“For March, we had total sales of N441,752,914 across all cinemas with 174,071 viewers admitted into cinemas.
” Sales in March were encouraging compared with February when we recorded total sales of N278 million due to activities of the Presidential and National Assembly elections, as well as the national problem of cash crunch.
” For April, we will be showing Super Mario Bros, Domitila, Bloomboys, Honey Money, Renfield and The Pope’s exorcist,” he said.
