Veteran actor Femi Branch has expressed his discontent with Nigerian cinemas’ alleging that they prioritize the promotion of certain movies over others during the festive season.
Speaking on his experience as a meet-and-greet visitor at a cinema for a colleague, he underlined that to subtly promote a movie to viewers some cinema employees wear customized T-shirts of specific films.
Branch claimed that to convince the audience to see a certain film, the staff will even take the media card for that film from the counter and alter the running time.
Netizens have shared their experiences at Nigerian cinemas that favor one movie over another, and tweeps have attested to the actor’s observation.
