Nigerian movie, Black Market, is gearing up for Guinness World Record attempt.

Written by Abdul Tijani-Ahmed and Fatimah Binta Gimsay, Black Market will be released in Lagos on September 26, 2026 at Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos.

In collaboration with Filmone Studios, Signet Ring Studios and Switch Visuals Production, Black Market will host 50,000 people for a single screening of Black Market in an official Guinness World Records attempt to surpass the current record of 43,000 – the largest number of people to screen a film in a single location.

Shot in Abeokuta, Nigeria, Black Market was directed by Fatimah Gimsay and stars Lateef Adedimeji, Linda Ejiofor-Suleiman, Itele D Icon, Scarlet Gomez, Omowunmi Dada, Teniola Aladese, Susan Pwajok and Uzor Arukwe.

Others include Folagade Banks, Tomiwa Tegbe, Andrew Yaw Bunting, Shamz Garuba, and Adeoluwa Akintoba.

“It is so surreal when you go from what is in your head and see it come to life. We have been attached to different versions of the script but the final version felt different . We finally felt like we merged all our tones together,” Gimsay says.

The event is in partnership with MTN, Puma, Swoop, PlaystreetNG, Oraimo, Shuttlers and Lagos State Ministry of Culture.
