  "summary": "Nollywood crime thriller Black Market has made history by breaking the Guinness World Record for the largest attendance at a film screening in a single location. The record-breaking screening took place at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) in Lagos, with more than 51,000 people watching the movie. Guinness World Records officially recognised the feat, based on viewers who remained from the beginning to the end of the film. The previous record, set in 2015, was 43,624 people who attended the screening of the Filipino film Felix Manalo at the Philippine Arena. The Black Market screening drew a massive crowd, with long queues reported around TBS earlier in the day and the event featuring music, food, games, and other entertainment activities. The screening was organised by Rixel Studios in collaboration with several other production studios, showcasing the popularity and success of Nollywood in breaking this record.",
