I do some study on Africa movie market
The most impressive performence here is Titanic with insane gross that doing greater than $10m in 90s Africa region…That is the mircle,this movie is even popular in Africa countries
“My heart will go on”song is the social culture thing in level most Africa countries,that’s one of the reason why it’s so successful in Africa
And Superhero is also doing great in Africa too,They become popular after Tobey Maguire’s Spiderman came to Africa
’Batman vs Superman’ is the big blcokbuster hit in almost every Africa countries,Avengers Endgame is the culture event here,And Spiderman is also a household name in Africa,in a word,Superhero’s popularity is emerge in Africa too,they know superhero almost as much as American did,and For Black Panther,I don’t think is need some explain
For FF series succeed in Africa,I think the series is just like Rambo,Actually Almost every America old action movie is super popular in Africa in Last century,Rambo ,Terminator,James Bond 007…..especially Rambo is increible popular in Africa,he is even some kind of america symbol in Africa country,like…when an African meet a American,he will call you “Wow ,Rambo!!”
FF succeed reason is some kind of Africa nostalgia of last century classic America action movie.
Avatar is also popular in Africa,the reason why is just like why Avatar succeed in other place,they never see such a movie like that
And Some film series which Popular in Other place but not popular in Africa:
Harry Potter,because the wizard is always the evil symbol in Africa,but Harry Potter is the justice wizard,in Africa,if a kids read Harry Potter,their parents will beat their ass and said “No you should not read the book like that!”Their feeling of reading harry potter is like..a believer of Jesus Christ reading a book which Satan is main justice character
