Get Ready for a Movie Marathon: Nigeria Cinema Day Returns with ₦2,000 Flat Rate!
Movie lovers across Nigeria are in for a treat as the annual Nigeria Cinema Day makes its grand return on Saturday, November 1, 2025. The Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria (CEAN) has announced that all cinema tickets nationwide will be available at a pocket-friendly rate of ₦2,000, making it the perfect opportunity to catch up on the latest Nollywood hits.
Originally scheduled for September, the celebration’s move to November couldn’t have come at a better time. The ember months typically see a surge in cinema attendance, and this year’s lineup promises an exciting mix of films that showcase Nollywood’s evolving storytelling prowess.
Leading the pack is “Idia,” a dark psychological thriller steeped in Edo mythology, featuring powerhouse performances from Mercy Aigbe, Linda Osifo, and Tope Tedela. Released just days before Cinema Day, this collaboration between directors Jide “JBlaze” Oyegbile and Ese Ariremu brings ancient folklore to modern screens.
For those seeking contemporary drama, “Men’s Code” explores the complexities of male friendships and relationships in urban Nigeria, while the stylish heist drama “Gingerrr,” directed by Yemi Morafa, promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats with its tale of a deal gone wrong.
Actor Daniel Etim-Effiong makes his directorial debut with “The Herd,” a thoughtful exploration of tradition and leadership in rural Nigeria. Meanwhile, “Osamede” and “Almost Perfect” round out the offerings with compelling stories of family legacy and personal ambition respectively.
Major cinema chains including Silverbird, Genesis Deluxe, and Filmhouse Cinemas are participating in this nationwide celebration. However, moviegoers are advised to check their local listings early, as not all films will be available at every venue.
This special day serves multiple purposes – giving audiences affordable access to quality entertainment while providing filmmakers and distributors a unique opportunity to showcase their work to a broader audience. For movie enthusiasts looking for informed reviews, Nollycritic will be publishing detailed coverage following the Saturday screenings.
Whether you’re a casual moviegoer or a dedicated film buff, Nigeria Cinema Day 2025 promises something for everyone. The only question remaining is: which movie will you choose to watch?
