AY’s ’30 Days in Atlanta’ pirated on Lagos streets

(NAN) The recently released blockbuster movie ``30 Days in Atlanta’’, produced by ace comedian, AY, is already being pirated in Lagos, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
The movie which featured AY, alongside Nollywood megastars Ramsey Noah, Mercy Johnson, Richard Mofe-Damijo and Hollywood icons, Vivica Fox and Lyn Whitfield, was largely shot in Atlanta, U.S.
The movie which premiered in Nigeria on October 30, 2014, has since become the highest earning Nigerian movie at the Box Office, with reported gate takings of more N100 million.
It also premiered at Ghanaian cinemas on Jan. 30, 2015.
Sadly, the movie has now fallen into the hands of the ever-present pirates, who already have the CD version of the film and are already making brisk business from it.
A NAN eye-witness report said that the pirated movie was being sold for N500 in traffic in several parts of Lagos.
When contacted by NAN on telephone, AY said that he was thankful that he had already reaped bountifully from the movie, before the pirates struck through their nefarious acts.
``The pirates have done their worst but they cannot dampen the success of the movie.
``I thank God, the cast and the crew and everyone that has contributed in one way or the other to the success of the movie.
``One of the objectives of Corporate World Entertainment, the parent company that produced the movie is to continue to explore new grounds in the entertainment industry.
``I won’t say the movie exceeded my expectations because once one makes an effort, he expects success and success has no limit.
``We worked really hard on the project and even though this is my first effort in movie production, I gave it my best and I’m glad at everything that has followed,’’ the comedian said.
AY also called on the government and other corporate bodies to support laudable projects in entertainment and other fields.
He said that another movie was already in the works.
