Ajayi said total viewer admission in cinemas across the federation within the month under review was 218,395.
The chairman stated that cinemas experienced a slight increase in patronage in July due to the numerous public holidays in the month, urging Nigerians to consider visiting the cinemas during their leisure to unwind.
