Streaming Platforms: Cinema Exhibitors Lament Dwindling Patronage

The Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria (CEAN) have expressed worry over dwindling patronage.

They lamented the fact that movies are being listed directly on movie streaming platforms, instead of cinemas where they could be watched by a wider public.

CEAN’s Chairman, Patrick Lee, told Newsmen in Lagos that the cinema experience is different from watching a movie on a mobile phone or computer.

Lee said the association was already discussing with the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) and online streaming platforms, to arrive at a lasting solution.
