"Omo Ghetto: The Saga" Grossed N124 Million Within 7 Days - Breaks Box Office Records in Nigeria

"Omo Ghetto: The Saga" Grossed N124 Million Within 7 Days - Breaks Box Office Records in Nigeria.

I predicted this happening when it was released on #Christmas Day, December 25, 2020.
Cinemas should let it run till #Valentine's Day.

The most profitable Nigerian movie so far is The Wedding Party 1 that grossed over N453 million from the box office with a film production budget of only ₦60 million. 

The sequel, "The Wedding Party" 2 is currently having the record for the highest grossing Nigerian movie with N500 million from the box office, but it cost N300 million to make it. So, if you subtract N300 million from N500 million, you are left with only N200 million. So, the producers did not make any profit. They lost millions of naira. 


The fact is they would have made more money from movie merchandising of "The Wedding Party" franchise. But they were clueless about how to do so.
