EbonyLife Films has announced that their latest offering, the Netflix Original film Òlòtūré, will debut today, the 2nd Of October with a virtual red carpet premiere and Netflix Watch Party to ensure that fans do not feel left out of the glamorous occasion.
Anticipation for the movie has been building since 2019, but this is the first time the film will be seen, aside from exclusive private screenings in Lagos and Los Angeles, and the Carthage Film Festival in Tunisia. The expectation has only increased since Netflix announced a few weeks ago that Òlòtūré will be only the second Nigerian film to be released as a highly coveted Netflix Original.
On Friday 2nd October at 7:00 p.m., the cast, producers and Nollywood celebrities will begin sharing photos from the virtual premiere red carpet, using the hashtags #Oloture #OlotureTheMovie and at 8:00 p.m. (WAT) viewers are invited to join the fun by tuning in to the Netflix Watch Party and chat to Mo Abudu, cast members and crew, directly via live chat. Celebrity guests have been asked to wear black to highlight the seriousness of the movie’s theme and to show support for women’s rights.
