He noted that the affordability of tickets for World Cinema Day provides a unique opportunity for individuals and families to enjoy quality entertainment at a fraction of the cost.

Nigerian box in a post revealed that in 2023, the inaugural World Cinema Day saw an impressive 21,500 moviegoers flock to various cinemas across the country.
