What Is The Official Release Date For King of Thieves 2?
According to Femi Adebayo, the sequel will screen from 24 December 2025 – 4 January 2026.
But here’s the twist: it won’t be showing in your regular cinema. Instead, the film will be released exclusively in “community cinemas” across Western Nigeria, with ticket prices set at:
- ₦4,000 in Lagos
- ₦3,000 outside Lagos
He also confirmed that the exact community cinema locations will be announced soon.
What Exactly Is a Community Cinema?
For this release, community cinema will add nostalgia and intentionality.
Instead of the traditional mall theatres, the film will screen in neighborhood-based viewing centers. This is the kind of communal spaces many Nigerians grew up with. Think open-air fields, town halls, school compounds, and local event centers converted into temporary cinemas.
It’s a throwback to the days before multiplexes, when entire communities gathered to watch films together. More so, for a Yoruba epic like ‘Agesinkole,’ this communal arrangement is a perfect fit.
What We Know About the Sequel
The first King of Thieves was a certified blockbuster, earning ₦322 million and redefining indigenous storytelling.
The sequel promises to go even bigger, with a packed cast featuring Yemi Solade, Bimbo Akintola, Gabriel Afolayan, Segun Arinze, Odunlade Adekola, Ibrahim Yekini, and more.
Behind the scenes, the project is backed by Executive Producers Femi Adebayo, Kelechi Okoro, and Imade Bibowei-Osuobeni, with music by Tolu Obanro and editing by Temitope Folarin.
