Nollywood sets a new Guinness World Record for the largest audience gathering for a movie screening as more than 51,000 people attend a screening of the crime thriller “Black Market” in Lagos.
Reports say the event draws over 51,000 viewers at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), a major public venue in the city. Vanguard and The Punch both describe the screening as breaking the previous record for the largest movie screening audience, with the figure reported as “over 51,000” and specifically “51,000” in the Guinness-related framing.
The outlets align on the core facts: the film is titled “Black Market,” the record category relates to the size of a movie-screening audience, and the event takes place in Lagos at TBS. They do not differ significantly in their basic description, though they use slightly different wording for the exact number of attendees.
