Christmas is here and with it comes the anticipation of the release of Nigerian movies.

Many movies are now scheduled to premiere during the December period, examples are Wedding Party 2 (2017) and Chief Daddy (2018). Probably a strategy by the producers to make more money but you can tell that it’s definitely working as these movies sell out at cinemas.

As the tradition, here are the top 5 blockbuster movies you can watch at the cinemas this December.

 1. Muna

The movie stars Adesua Etomi playing the leading role alongside Adam Huss, Sharon Ifedi, Robert Miano and Onyeka Onwenu.

Muna is the story of a spirited girl raised by her grandmother; the last surviving member of their family. Muna’s driving desire to provide a better life for herself and grandmother in the land of milk and honey leads to shady characters that will change the trajectory. Landing her smack dab into the hands of traffickers. That experience turns her once golden heart into one driven by stone-cold revenge on those who stole her innocence. In her grand plan, love was never on the agenda. When secrets and betrayal complicate her strategy, she has a tough decision to make.
