Just days into its exclusive nationwide rollout, Nollywood filmmaker and actor Femi Adebayo’s Agesinkole 2: King of Thieves is generating significant buzz and strong attendance at community cinemas.
Released on December 24, 2025, and running through January 4, 2026, the epic Yoruba blockbuster bypasses traditional multiplex chains in favor of neighborhood viewing centers and local halls across several states, including Lagos, Oyo, Osun, Ogun, Ondo, Ekiti, and Kwara.

Tickets are priced at an affordable ₦4,000 in Lagos and ₦3,000 outside the state, making high-quality cinema accessible amid economic pressures and positioning the film as a holiday must-see for families and communities.
Viewers have praised the film’s engrossing storyline, stellar performances, and cultural depth, with many returning for repeat viewings. One fan described it as a “masterpiece with no dull moments” in its roughly 2-hour runtime.
The decision of the filmmaker to go direct-to-community has been hailed as strategic and pacesetting especially as other filmmakers are at loggerheads with cinemas for manipulating their movie tickets and leaving viewers frustrated.
Adebayo has actively promoted screenings via social media, sharing venue lists and encouraging group outings. Key locations include City View Event Centre (Mushin), Capricorn Cinemas at June 12 Cultural Centre (Abeokuta), Mauve 21 Event Centre (Ibadan), and others across the Southwest.
