Nollywood comedian and actor Ayo Makun, better known as AY, has been left overwhelmed as his new movie, The Waiter, hits a new milestone.
Taking to his Instagram page, the star revealed that the movie had grossed N200 million at the box office. The filmmaker stated that the journey has been nothing short of amazing and he couldn’t have achieved this without the support of his audience.
Ayo Makun expressed gratitude to all who have seen the film, shared their thoughts, and spread the word as he noted how their support has made a huge difference and has truly helped to elevate their story.
“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.
