The producers of ‘The Wedding Party Movie’, have been reportedly hit with major financial setback to the tune of 200 million naira.
Just weeks after the crew and cast of the record breaking movie celebrated their N500 million profit, pirated versions have started selling for N500 in Lagos, N400 in Benin, N300 in Abuja and Port Harcourt, and the cheapest price goes for N200 in Warri, Delta State.

Due to the volume of funds lost to these dubious means the producers have made plans to take the movie to NETFLIX and then put original CDs out for sale.
