According to him, total cinema ticket sales in 2019 were N5.9 billion before the pandemic year.Lee credited increased sales in 2021 to the improving quality of locally produced films across the country, urging filmmakers to keep up the good work.

He went on to say that the association’s increased publicity about the importance of people developing the habit of going to the movies helped.

“We have also noticed that the quality of movies coming into the cinemas is now attracting more people.
