Mercy Aigbe, the Nigerian actress, has claimed that some cinemas are discouraging fans from viewing her recently released movie, ‘Thin Line’.
The film premiered in cinemas nationwide on December 13.
In an Instagram post on Saturday, Aigbe shared a screenshot of a message from a fan who had a frustrating experience while trying to purchase tickets.
According to the screenshot, the fan visited two different cinemas, only to be given excuses not to watch the movie. At the first cinema, the excuse was a bad screen, while the second cinema claimed the air conditioning in the viewing hall was not working.
“Good day Ma’am, so I went to watch Thin Line at Festival Mall yesterday afternoon. The ticket attendant ‘advised’ me not to, something about their screen being bad,” the fan wrote.
“Then I drove from Festival Mall to Maryland Mall, they also ‘advised’ me not to, saying the AC in that particular cinema was bad and that I should watch The Waiter. I went home angry and irritated.
“Please, if you can relate this information to the people that can do something about it. I just think it doesn’t make sense for two cinemas to have an ‘excuse’ and even advise people against seeing a particular movie.”
