2014 movie, “30 Days In Atlanta“, has broken the Nollywood box office record with 76 million naira, surpassing Kunle Afolayan’s October 1st‘s 50 million naira landmark. Produced by comedian, Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, the movie is currently Nollywood’s Highest Grossing Cinema Movie of all time, after it amazingly grossed N76 million in seven weeks of showing on Cinema Screens across Nigeria. ‎ Guy Bruce, the Director, Silverbird Distribution Company, made this known at a special reception to celebrate the Cast and Crew of the Movie at Silverbird Galleria. “That it is N76 million is quite impressive for a Nollywood film, Bruce said, and we are so proud of AY. We hope he does more movies.” Through The Glass, a movie by Stephanie Okereke is estimated to have grossed a total of N10 million in 2008, while Figurine by Kunle Afolayan grossed N20 million. Ije in 2010 grossed N57 million, Chimamanda Adichie’s Half Of A Yellow Sun grossed N60 million while October 1st reached the N50 million mark. These are all box-office estimates provided by Uwem Jacobs, the West Africa Agent for United International Pictures, South Africa. “30 Days In Atlanta is still in the cinemas, and if we extrapolate our data judging by exit polling from cinema guests, performance and screen averages, the movie might well gross over N100 million after Christmas,” Moses Babatope, Executive Director of Filmhouse Cinemas said. “What else can I add?” AY asked rhetorically. I will just say ‘thank you’, to God; to the cast, to the crew, and those who go to the cinemas to see 30 Days In Atlanta – this history is theirs.” Guests at the event include AY himself, Ramsey Nouah, Desmond Elliot, Julius Agwu, Okey Bakassi, Baba Dee, Ada Ameh, Darlington Abuda and Adewole Adedeji, the Senior Brand Manager of Maltina.‎
