Signals picked from Ghana’s movie marketing industry say all has not been well for the past few months. Marketers are however, keeping the reason for low sales to themselves. Producers have also remained tightlipped.Currently, top producers are not releasing movies as they used to. Socrates Sarfo, for instance, has not gone on set after he made the headlines with his last movie.It is difficult to get information on the sales of movies in Ghana just as the amount actors make from their acting job. Whatever is put out there is speculative. NEWS-ONE’s last checks at Damfo B.A. Productions, a movie distribution company, revealed that Socrates Sarfo’s ‘Hot Fork’ sold 80,000 copies while ‘Ama Ghana’ sold 250,000 copies.
