Lagos led Nigeria’s box office with ₦5.8 billion in revenue, generating more revenue than all other regions combined.
The South-South emerged as the strongest market outside Lagos, contributing ₦2.1 billion, nearly 50% more than the South-West.
Abuja outperformed all three northern zones combined, earning ₦852 million, which is nearly four times their total revenue.
Cinema penetration in northern Nigeria remains weak, with the North-East contributing only ₦2.4 million—less than 0.05% of the national total, highlighting a significant gap in cinema infrastructure and audience engagement.
Nigeria alone holds 89% of all cinema locations and 92% of all screens in the region.
Ghana is the second-largest market but has only seven locations and 18 screens, significantly trailing behind Nigeria.
Sierra Leone has four cinema locations and eight screens, while Liberia has just one location with two screens, highlighting the limited cinema infrastructure in both countries.
The overwhelming concentration of cinema infrastructure in Nigeria reflects its established film industry and audience demand.
