Okoro's movie, The Contract has hit
another cinema jackpot. Over the weekend, the movie had a successful public premiering event in Kumasi
at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science Technology.
According to organisers of the premiere, iSolveAfrica and Happenerz, it was the
first time students came out in their numbers to see a local movie.
“It
would have been even bigger if the cast had attended the ceremony,” the stated.
However,
Saturday’s event made it the third successful premiering ceremony after The Contract was released for the
cinemas in December last year.

The
first was the huge turnout at the main premiere in Accra at National Theatre
and the subsequent showings at Silverbird Cinemas.
The
Kumasi event was held at the Social Science Auditorium, a 1,200 capacity auditorium.
There
were three showings in all and each showing had more patronage than the organizers
anticipated.
The
first showing had over eighty percent patronage while the second screening had
a full house. The numbers of the third screening was quite surprising and
amazing, according to organisers. It had a little over 90 percent patronage.
It
was late but patrons waited to see the movie. The premiere thus closed at 2:00am
Sunday January 27.
