Funke Akindele’s popular film Everybody Loves Jenifa will soon debut internationally across six continents. Nile Media, a distribution and production company, secured the international rights to the movie, while FilmOne Entertainment retains the rights for local distribution in Nigeria.
In a recent Instagram post, Nile Media announced that the movie will screen in 30 countries, setting a historic milestone for Nigerian cinema. The UK premiere will take place at Odeon Cinemas in Greenwich on December 20, 2024, with additional screenings in Italy, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Belgium, and Canada.
Moses Babatope founded Nile Media, which has rapidly become a key player in international film distribution. The company has also secured rights for major Nigerian films, including Omoni Oboli’s Wives on Strike 3. Additionally, Nile Media partners with the Ooni of Ife to launch Ojaja Cinemas, a project aiming to introduce 1,000 cinema screens across Nigeria.
