20TH CENTURY FOX SIGNS MEGA DISTRIBUTION DEAL WITH FILM ONE

Twentieth Century Fox has entered into an agreement to distribute its film slate in a major distribution deal with Nigeria and West Africa’s fastest-growing theatrical film distribution company, FilmOne Distribution.
Under this arrangement, FilmOne will distribute all Fox titles directly to cinemas in Nigeria and Ghana. This is the first deal of its kind in West Africa for Twentieth Century Fox.
As part of the agreement, FilmOne Distribution will release in 2016, movies such  as ‘Independence Day: Resurgence’, ‘Ice Age: Collision Course’, as well as ‘The Birth of a Nation.’ ‘Trolls’.
Group Chief Executive Officer and President of Filmhouse Cinemas and FilmOne Distribution Kene Mkparu, said the move is a bold statement from Twentieth Century Fox “Twentieth Century Fox have today made a bold statement in showcasing their interest in the growing African film market, of which the West African region, particularly Nigeria, has become a major player. We have no doubt in our mind that this partnership will not only surpass previous box office results but with Fox’s diverse film slate, it will deepen and popularise the cinema-going culture in naturally receptive and entertainment-loving countries like Nigeria and Ghana.’
