Omotola Says ₦103m Cinema Gross Left A Mother’s Love Producers With ₦22m — 1 of 2
1 / 2

Nollywood actress and producer Omotola Jalade Ekeinde says her film, A Mother’s Love, earned ₦103,094,633 during its cinema run, but the producers received about ₦22 million after deductions. She said exhibitors’ shares, VAT, entertainment tax, withholding tax, distribution costs and other charges significantly reduced the final amount paid to the production team. Omotola added that the experience showed the financial pressures faced by filmmakers who take their projects to cinemas. She also said 10 per cent of the ₦22 million producers’ share was donated to the Slum2School NGO, in line with a previous commitment.

The gap between ₦103m gross and roughly ₦22m reaching producers shows why headline box-office figures need context.

Still, gross income is not the same as profit, so the deductions alone do not tell us whether the film's overall deal was fair.

Producers may need clearer pre-release breakdowns of exhibitor shares, taxes, distribution costs, and expected net receipts.
