...sold about N10 million in seven days …gets two weeks extension at cinema
Barely a week of its release to the cinemas, “The Return of Jenifa”
(TROJ) has out sold all other Nollywood movies at the cinema in the
country, a feat which many believe may rank the movie as one of the
fastest grossing Nollywood movies.
The feat is more remarkable as the movie is only showing in three
cinemas- Silverbird Lagos and Abuja and Ozone Cinema in Yaba, Lagos.
Recording such a feat may not come as a surprise because Funke is
renowned for churning out blockbusters movies. Movies like Jenifa and
Omo Ghetto were said to have sold in their numbers.
The impressive showing which has already earned the producer more
than N10 million in seven may see the producer earning more as some of
the cinemas have asked for a two weeks extension. This means the movie
will be at the cinema for four weeks.
