There are strong indications that the producers of popular movie, The Wedding Party may have been dealt a big blow as the high grossing movie is now easily accessible to people across world with many also downloading freely.
R gathered that the pirated versions of the movie, which hit cinemas across the country in December 2016 are now selling for N500 in Lagos, N400 in Benin, N300 in Abuja and Port Harcourt, and the cheapest price goes for N200 in Warri, Delta State.
According to a Facebook user who is based in London, “May God bless whoever God used to upload this wonderful and interesting movie online for us to download. As I am speaking now, I know more than 100 people have downloaded the movie and more are still downloading.”
A resident of Lagos State who spoke with R on Friday said a copy of the movie now sells for N500 in some parts of Lagos.
The movie, which was said to have grossed over N500m since it was premiered last year, is now available for illegal streaming and downloads on YouTube and Facebook.
R gathered sums to over 100,000 viewers who have seen the movie illegally outside the cinema screens; where a good number of them would’ve paid N1,000 each to watch the movie once.
