Nollywood family drama Introducing the Kujus is cashing out at the box office, as the movie has made ₦10.8 million since it hit theatres on November 27, 2020.
According to reports, the Biodun Stephen-directed film, which was aggressively marketed on Instagram, opened strongly at number two; with a box office earning of ₦5.8 Million and a private screening revenue of ₦5 Million.
The impressive numbers are in spite of the tragic fate that cinemas suffered; taking huge losses due to the lockdown and COVID-19 restrictions. Cinemas have only recently resumed operations after months of shutting their doors.
