Africa Magic has prepared an overload of brand-new movies for their viewers throughout March in what you may call a 'March Movie Madness'. The audience will enjoy a total of 55 new Nollywood film titles on Africa Magic Urban (DStv ch. 153) and Showcase (151). Of these fifty-five movies, 25 will premiere on Africa Magic Showcase on different days of the week. While the remaining 30 films will air on Africa Magic Urban every day in March - Africa Magic viewers will enjoy up to four movies on some days.
Ahead of the ninth edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards, the platform is proving why they are regarded as Africa’s greatest storytellers with the release of these films. 10 of the movies that will air on AM Showcase, were commissioned and their production monitored by Africa Magic and MultiChoice. So, viewers should expect only the very best in storylines and production quality. 15 others were acquired from brilliant Nollywood producers like Jay Franklyn Jituboh, Agatha Amata, and Biodun Stephen.
The mix of themes and genres on this roster of 55 films presents something for every film aficionado as there is a mix of genres where everyone gets a good cocktail of everything they love from horror, thriller, comedy, psychological drama, romantic comedy, and so much more.
