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.’’
