5 Things that Should Matter Today: ”The Set Up” hitting N21 million in 5 days is another reason you should see the movie

Niyi Akinmolayan’s latest offering The Set Up is dominating the box office in Nigeria and Ghana, scoring a record of N21 million having just spent five days in cinemas. Why this is remarkable is because the movie is having a healthy run despite the presence of Hollywood blockbluster Hobbs & Shaw, which hits theaters a week before.

According to the plot, the movie tells the story of Chike (Adesua Etomi-Wellington), a young drug smuggler, who gets more than she bargains for and is drawn into a web of deceit when she is hired by a socialite (Jim Iyke) to assist in his scheme to marry a wealthy heiress (Dakore Egbuson-Akande). But things are more intricate and convoluted than what the plot says, which makes The Set Up quite intriguing. Written by Chinas Onuzo, the movie is still showing in cinemas.
