Did Jeta Amata's Black Gold Make US Box Office?

Looking at Jeta Amata'a Black Gold that starred Billy Zane, Vivica Fox, Haekem Kae-Kazeem, Eric Roberts, Micael Madsen and Tom Sizemore, isn't that enough to make US box office? The film had 6 Hollywood actors and had some Hollywood production crew involved in it.

Can't such a film hit the states and be played in US cinemas? I keep wondering how much Black Gold was shot with? How would they make their money back?

However, if Black Gold didn't make US box office, what does it take to make a Nollywood movie make US box office as Mirror Boy made waves in the UK

Please I would love to get responses from informed Nairalanders.

Thank you.

thought he was sponsored by Niger Delat government, they don't need a ROI in that region, flush with cash, just an acknowledgement is enough

iice: D list actors. Their names don't have enough pull.

Ije had more impact

We talked a bit about the film in this thread (start from the middle of the page) - https://www.nairaland.com/1281804/half-yellow-sun-confirmed-nollywood/4

But the whole thread has very interesting industry talk/debate. Feel free to read from the very start.

By the way they are 'claiming' Black Gold had a budget of $12.5M... I don't actually believe that figure.
