The Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria (CEAN) has revealed that a total of N378m was accrued from tickets sold across cinemas in the country in August.
The amount was generated from 37films shown in August with “Thor: Love and Thunder” topping the chart with N80m revenue.
This was disclosed by Ope Ajayi, CEAN’s National President, in an interview on Tuesday.
Ajayi said that the figure represented 28 per cent increase compared to N294 million realised in August 2021.
He, however, said that there was a 19 per cent decline in tickets sold in August , as N471 million was generated in July.
“The 37 films shown in August realised over NGN378 million at the box office.
“13 Hollywood films accounted for 72.4 per cent while 16 Nollywood films made a little over 22 per cent.
He said the top five highest-grossing films in August were: Thur: Love and Thunder, Bullet Train, Beast, Hey you! and League of Surpets.
“Thor: Love and Thunder remained the highest-grossing, with 80 million in the month, which brings its lifetime revenue at Nigeria’s box office to over N350 million, as of 31st August,” he said.
