Nollywood comedian and actor Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, is overjoyed as his latest film, The Waiter, achieves a remarkable milestone.
Sharing the news on his Instagram page, AY revealed that the movie has grossed ₦200 million at the box office. He described the journey as incredible, attributing the success to the unwavering support of his audience.
Expressing heartfelt gratitude, the filmmaker thanked everyone who watched the film, shared their feedback, and spread the word. He acknowledged how their encouragement has made a significant impact and helped elevate the story to new heights.
“We are beyond thrilled to announce that The Waiter has grossed an incredible 200 Million Naira at the box office! Against all odds, this journey has been nothing short of amazing, and we couldn’t have achieved this milestone without YOU, our incredible audience!
To everyone who has seen the film, shared their thoughts, and spread the word, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Your support has made a huge difference and has truly helped to elevate this story.
But the journey doesn’t end here! The Waiter is still showing in cinemas nationwide, and we invite you to keep the momentum going. Let’s continue to share the magic of this film with friends and family. Your word of mouth is the best marketing we could ask for!
Join us as we celebrate this achievement and keep the conversations alive!”.
This news is coming a week after AY cried out over the lack of support from his colleagues. Makun lamented how men only support entities who have breasts and bottoms, despite the other gender working hard to stay relevant and uphold their responsibilities. He bragged about being the only man left in filmmaking who has not given up and vows to continue pushing his movie personally.
His post was, however, misinterpreted to be a dig at his female colleagues who are currently breaking records at the box office.
Setting the record straight in another post, AY made it clear that his post had nothing to do with them as they have all supported and encouraged him to date. He stated that his post was aimed at men who are fond of supporting women over their gender. Ayo noted how men support each other; they cultivate a brotherhood that uplifts everyone, allowing them to grow emotionally and mentally
