‘Black Market’ reportedly draws 51,000-plus to Lagos premiere
An attendee describes a huge turnout at Tafawa Balewa Square but leaves Guinness record verification open. Another post argues the event points to income for Nollywood beyond cinema tickets and streaming rights.
TLDR
An attendee says the Lagos premiere of Black Market was reported to have drawn 51,000-plus people for a Guinness World Records attempt, but leaves final record verification open. A separate post claims the Nigerian crime thriller earned the record for the largest attendance at a film screening in one location, surpassing 43,624.
That post also argues that combining movies with music, food, games and celebrations could open up more revenue opportunities for Nollywood. It says organisers partnered with Shuttlers for transportation and sold branded merchandise alongside tickets, while cautioning that not every film can or should attempt a premiere on this scale.
