Business Description of Cinema Business Plan in Nigeria
Business: Cinema/ Movie Theatre
Industry: Entertainment
PATILAD Cinema is an Ota based Movie Centre in Ogun State Nigeria. Since the establishment of this district the residents have not been able to go to a movie theatre unless they travelled out of town. In several surveys conducted over this period, residents wishing to enjoy a day out at the movies have to drive about 60km to a Cinema like Ikeja City Mall, Silver Bird Galleria which features some Movies. And once they get to the Cinema, it often times not worth all the stress of driving all the way. We did a survey round the 30km radius of the local government encouraged a group of volunteers, among them business owners/operators, to investigate the viability of operating a multi-screen movie-theatre.
In early 2016, the Patilad Cinema became registered under the Film Board Association of Nigeria. The directors researched other jointly-owned and operated movie theatres in Nigeria, established goals and objectives for this enterprise, analysed the market potential, looked at strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats and developed a preliminary marketing and financial plan. The project is an ambitious one but also an exciting one which will help the Ota business community, create jobs and definitely support a climate for new business investment in the City and beyond.
In three months, since receiving the mandate from the local government to undertake the work, we have:
- Recruited a board of directors with a range of experience
- Organized a solid membership drive that has resulted in 1,300 paid members,
raising a total in membership fees of over N12,000,000
- Run a very successful “film night and information session” at the nearly completed movie house with 300 in attendance as part of our community engagement
- Consulted with industry experts, equipment suppliers, architects, contractors, film
booking agents and for-profit and non-profit theatre owner/operators
- Consulted with the investment bank of Nigeria, Micro-finance banks, local groups, and potential funding agencies
- Engaged in cost and market analysis, and financial modelling to determine
- whether a movie theatre in Tollgate Ota makes sense and
(b) if it will be sustainable.
- Worked with a quantity surveyor and other professionals to establish cost
breakdowns for a phased approach to leasehold improvements
