Akinmolayan is ready to blast some cinemas online. The filmmaker Niyi Akinmolayan is furious over issues with his new movie, Colors of Fire. He accused theaters of a deliberate scam, saying they list showtimes and sell tickets on their websites only to tell customers the film is not actually playing. He gave them an ultimatum to fix the problem by the end of the day, or he would publicly name the cinemas and their managers. Akinmolayan stressed that while theaters have the right to set their own schedules or reject a film, they cannot deceive paying audiences.
He called the practice wicked and deliberate. His warning, posted on Instagram, stated he already had evidence against three specific cinemas. He will not tolerate this happening to people who bought tickets for his film. The director made it clear this is a matter of principle over proper business conduct, not just about his own project.
