NOLLYWOOD FILM MAKES HISTORY IN U.S.A THEARTRES, IT STARS GENEVIEVE NNAJI AND VIVICA FOX

Nollywood movie titled `Dr Bello’ is making history as the first movie to debut in the U.S. theatres on Feb. 22, its producer, Mr Tony Abulu, has said. Abulu said that the movie has been released since February 22nd and will be available through to February 27th at AMC theaters.
He said the movie, worth $1,000,000, would explore the foreign exchange potentials that abound in the U.S. film industry. The development, according to Abulu, will also create a platform for other Nollywood movies to sell in the U.S. market.
“This is the second largest theater chain in America with over 5000 screens and this portends great opportunity for Nollywood, because apart from “Dr Bello” other movies can come through this same agreement. The only catch is that they have to be very well produced and they have to be targeted to an American audience, not all the Nollywood movies can do it; there will be a select group of movies that can come through that channel. But I think, as time goes on, we can begin to see the millions of dollars of foreign exchange revenue that we have been hoping for in the U.S.’’
