Nigeria dominates cinema infrastructure in English-speaking West Africa, boasting 118 out of the region’s 122 cinemas as of 2025, according to new data from FilmOne.
The figures reveal a striking disparity: Ghana has just three cinemas, Liberia only one, and the remaining four are spread across the rest of the region. Without Nigeria, English-speaking West Africa would be left with a mere four cinemas, underscoring the country’s critical role in the region’s cinema ecosystem.
