BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES IN AFRICA (MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT)
The African film industry has grown into a worldwide and cultural phenomenon with a large following both on and off the continent.
The industry caters to a thirsty audience for African love stories, drama, intrigue, comedy, redemption, action, and more. It's no surprise that Africa's film industry is now the world's third-largest, behind Hollywood and India's 'Bollywood.'
The Nigerian romantic comedy film '30 Days in Atlanta' was released in late 2014. Every year, Africa produces hundreds of movies, but this one has completely transformed the game.
Just seven weeks after its release, “30 Days in Atlanta” grossed over $500,000! It’s the largest revenue ever made by a single African movie! This is great news for the continent and a sign of more high-grossing blockbusters to come!
It’s not just Africa’s film industry that’s on the rise. African music has become hot cakes too! From Nigeria to South Africa, there’s a wave of raw and promising music talents that is sweeping across the continent. 2016 will surely be an interesting year for Africa’s entertainment industry!
