Reactions as Nollywood stars meet at cinema
While many reacted to the industry's unity, others shared comments about the risks of oversaturation. Legit.ng compiled some of the comments, read them below:
AbassAdesola commented:
"There's definitely something missing, and that's strategy. I don't want to believe that they didn't think it through enough. You can crowd the cinemas with many movies at a time people aren't even well known to come out. Most of them targeted Eid-ul-Fitr, but it's not a festival knowns for large turnouts."
