- As expressed by Mr. Ope Ajayi, Chairman of CEAN, “We are doing this as a thank you to moviegoers and to promote the cinema-going culture, all while reigniting the magic of cinema in the hearts of our audience.”

What you should know
Box office revenue in Nigeria took a hit last month, plummeting by 14.98% in July.
This decline, amounting to N85 million, marked a stark contrast to the previous month when cinemas nationwide collectively raked in a healthy N567 million.
Chairman Opeyemi Ajayi attributes this dip to a nationwide phenomenon that affected cinemas across the board, despite a minor uptick in cinema attendance due to a series of public holidays.
Ajayi underscores the importance of more Nigerians considering a cinema visit, especially given the upcoming National Cinema Day celebration, where an exceptional cinematic experience awaits at an unbeatable price of N1000.
