List of top standard cinemas in Nigeria

In this post, we set out to list the top standard cinemas in Nigeria.

The growth of cinemas  in Nigeria is increasing day by day as a result of the production of quality movies with international standard.

A lot of Nigerian movies have been premiered in cinemas because they met the required features as observed in top cinemas across the world.

Cinema in Nigeria was revived as a result of the increase in piracy as video production was no longer profitable to film makers.

The popular Alaba market which happens to be the hub of piracy is a threat to the production of movies that meet international standard.

It encourages unprofessional movie producer and artists, thereby leading to the production of movies with no cinematic structure.
