Inkblot has released 16 films theatrically to date, including the highly successful The Wedding Party and The Wedding Party 2 , which are the country's second and third highest-grossing films respectively.
"We know Prime Video customers around the world love movies and this new deal with Inkblot Studios will deliver some of the best Nigerian and African films available for our customers," said Ayanna Lonian, Prime Video's Director of Content Acquisition and Head of Worldwide Major Studio Licensing Strategy. "Nigerian stories are truly some of the most exciting and thrilling in the world.
