Former Nigerian Senator, Ben Murray Bruce has promised to buy a global cinema chain to project the image of the Nigerian film industry across the world.
Bruce made this known at an industry event on Thursday, November 14, 2025, in Lagos.
He said, “We are going to partner with many Nigerian film practitioners and we will purchase a global cinema chain so we can showcase our movies in at least 1000 theatres. Nobody is going to give it to us, I know where to get the money, don’t worry about that but we have to own a cinema chain that will dominate the world and show our films.”
The Silverbird group founder also narrated his involvement in the film industry tracing it back to his years in high school, where he attended the same school with LeVar Burton, the star of ‘Roots,’ Kunta Kinte, and how the late filmmaker and founder of Africa Movie Academy Awards, Peace Anyiam-Osigwe pressured him into making an impact in the film industry.
He said, “I should have begun my career in film and not music but I can’t explain it. LeVar Burton, who played the role of Kunta Kunte, was my classmate. I have been in this space for a long time but yet to make a film, I will make one but we have to make it right, we have to do it right. The late Peace Anyiam-Osigwe would always meet with me and query why I was not actively involved with the film industry. Peace would say, Uncle Ben, why did you abandon the film industry? You created something and abandoned it, why? You cannot abandon the industry.”
The 68-year-old showbiz impresario has been in the entertainment industry for over four decades and promises to impact the Nigerian film industry and take it global through a world cinema chain.
