'Hollywood will move to Nigeria' - Kene Mpkaru

The former general manager of Odeon Cinemas in the UK, Kene Mpkaru (pictured) wants to make Hollywood move to Nigeria and believes that the potential is there.

According to CNN, so far Mpkaru's chain Filmhouse Cinemas has opened nine theaters, with plans for 16 more.

"Ramp up 200 cinemas and Hollywood will move to Nigeria. I guarantee that," he says. "The box office averages we get these days [are] huge."

"There are people that will spend 40 dollars for a ticket and we do have that cinema, where it's dining cinema, first class, similar to first class on a plane," Mpkaru says. "And people pay that kind of money for it. Then there's the regular multiplexes, but then there's a huge market down there that need the dollar houses."
