Released back in 2018, the gangster epic movie focused on power tussle that tells the story of a businesswoman and philanthropist named Alhaja Eniola Salami (played by Nollywood veteran Sola Sobowale) with growing political ambitions.
Despite coming out in October, Adetiba’s sophomore film received a lot of great nominations and grossed a total of N245 million making it is the fourth highest-earning Nigerian movie of all time.
A sequel of the political thriller is currently in the works. King of Boys joins the likes of Ayo Makun’s “Merry Men” and the Niyi Akomolayan-directed “The Wedding Party 2” which were recently added to the streaming platform.
Another Nigerian movie, “The Figurine: Araromire”, is set to hit Netflix on October 1, 2019. The 2009 Nigerian supernatural thriller follows two guys and a girl whose lives change after they find ‘Araromire’, a mysterious figurine in an abandoned shrine capable of bestowing seven years of good luck.
The story is written by Kemi Adesoye, produced and directed by Kunle Afolayan who plays a major role in the movie. It also stars Ramsey Nouah and Omoni Oboli.
