The Most Successful Nigerian Film From Cinema To Video



The Most Successful Nigerian Film From Cinema To Video


"The Wedding Party” is the most successful #Nollywood movie since "Living in Bondage" of 1992. But it is not the most successful Nigerian film of all time. The most successful Nigerian film so far is still "Bisi, Daughter of the River" of 1977 which played at the cinemas for over three years when there were more than 300 cinemas in Nigeria and more Nigerians went to the cinemas located in their neighbourhoods and not in shopping malls.
It was directed by Joseph Abiodun Babajide, aka "Jab Adu" and produced by Ladi Ladebo . The film was shot on 35mm.
