"Ramp up 200 cinemas and Hollywood will move to Nigeria. I guarantee that," he says. "The box office averages we get these days are huge."

A nation with a $7 billion movie industry has a problem: no one's going to watch its films on the silver screen. It sounds surreal but its true.

At the moment most Nigerian consumers watch films at home, and the country lacks some of the basic infrastructure for a movie industry -- such as movie theaters.

Kene Mpkaru hopes to change that. So far his chain Filmhouse Cinemas has opened nine theaters, with plans for 16 more.

Nigeria is a notoriously tough place to do business, but luckily Mpkaru has pedigree. As former general manager of Odeon Cinemas in the UK, the Nigerian was at the helm of a nationwide division of the largest cinema chain in Europe. And when he opened for business in Nigeria, he even brought some of his Nigerian staff who wanted to move back home with him.

Mpkaru acknowledges that his ambitious growth plans are "kind of madness", but he believes that the potential is there.

Cinema is a volume game, which in Nigeria adds complexity. The country's overt wealth is very unevenly spread, and around 60 percent of the country's population lives below the poverty line. However, that low income market is huge, and still wants to go to the movies. The challenge, he says, is to reach all of the country's different groups.

"There are people that will spend 40 dollars for a ticket and we do have that cinema, where it's dining cinema, first class, similar to first class on a plane," Mpkaru says. "And people pay that kind of money for it. Then there's the regular multiplexes, but then there's a huge market down there that need the dollar houses."

Low budgets, big expectations
Nigeria's film industry is huge and often chaotic, producing hundreds of films every year, almost all of which are filmed on a shoestring budget and distributed on DVD and CD.

But despite the apparently ramshackle nature of the productions, Nollywood is big business. Estimates for its contribution to the Nigerian economy vary wildly, but when the country's government recalculated its gross domestic product in 2014, they found that the wider media and film industry made up 1.4% of the $509 billion total -- more than $7 billion.

The films are widely exported across the entire of Anglophone Africa, into Diasporas in Europe and North America, and even into the Caribbean. Although the plots and production values have often reflected the movies' budget constraints, the quality is improving as the cost of digital film-making drops, and a new cohort of auteurs focuses more on meeting international standards.

Nollywood festivals have been hosted in London, Paris and Berlin, and Nigerian movies are gradually making their way onto the bills at global events.

The growth in scale and the increasing international recognition of Nollywood has prompted a reevaluation of the value of the country's creative industries. The penultimate government announced a $200 million fund to support directors and producers, and to encourage international co-productions. Nigeria's Bank of Industry co-financed the 2014 adaptation of Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's novel 'Half of a Yellow Sun', starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Thandie Newton, which was also directed by Bandele.

While international exposure brings with it prestige, the domestic market is a powerful one. With a population of 180 million, a large -- albeit now stuttering -- economy, rising disposable income and increasing connectivity through mobile phones, Nigeria could absorb a lot more investment into its creative industries.

Nollywood, Nigeria’s film industry, is now priced at $5 billion and makes more films than Hollywood in the U.S, but less than the largest film industry, India’s Bollywood, according to Al Jazeera.

Nollywood, Nigeria’s film industry, is now priced at $5 billion and makes more films than Hollywood in the U.S, but less than the largest film industry, India’s Bollywood, according to Al Jazeera.

Nigeria's film industry has only 14 cinemas available to a country that is home to more than 170 million people. Each week, Nollywood creates as many as 50 original Nigerian films.

These films are created for a price range starting from $10,000 or below, and are later placed directly onto DVDs to be sold by movie hubs and hawkers in the street.

Nollywood is an industry that has high turnover and challenges the western mode of storytelling. It also employs an astounding number of citizens without government or foreign aid, making it also the second largest industry by number of employees in the country.
