The Producers of 'The Wedding Party Movie', have been hit with major financial setback to the tune of 200 million naira.

Just weeks after the crew and cast of the record breaking movie celebrated their N500 million profit, Pirated versions have started 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. It is also available for illegal streaming and downloading on Facebook and earlier on Youtube which reached over 200k views before it got flagged off for copyright and taken down.

That's over 200,000 people that would have paid the #1,000 ticket price to watch it at the cinemas which would have earned the producers an extra N200 million.

Due to the volume of funds lost to these dubious means the producers have made plans to take the movie to NETFLIX and then put original CDs out for sale.

This is serious.

We know where these pirates are in Alaba. If the Government sends in the Calvary to clean them out now ,some certain people will start shouting that nobody wants their success.

But nobody is talking about those,whose sweat and livelihood is being stolen by these pirates.

I say The Government should go to Alaba in Lagos,and Upper Iweka in Onitsha to take back our movie gains from these pirates.

bad market!, how come kunle afolayan no dy get qualm with piracy

Piracy will not let our entertainment industry grow.
It's sad, really.

What is the government doing about this monster called Piracy.. It's rendering the hard work of some people useless.

October 1 was pirated and he didn't recoup his cost for making the film.

Tunde Kelani too lost a lot of money and couldn't recoup on his last two films.

If dem start dey sell I CD plate for #2.5k,, you go buy??

Poor publicity,poor implemtation,ignorance of who their target audience should be.

90% of posters here watched the pirated copy I can tell.

Someone wanted to send the movie to me in za office and I refused to accept as I hate naija movie. Nah to rebuke that person for supporting piracy when I reach office.

Its free on youtube

Really sad...

That means Hakkunde will also be pirated. That's another great movie I'm waiting to watch.
