Those who have been at the Filmhouse Cinemas in Surulere, Lagos, in recent time would wonder if the place is falling apart.
The present state of the cinema halls is bad. Hall 3, which has a number of seats missing, as at press time had not been replaced. Rather, there is a wooden cabinet where the seat used to be, such that when the hall is filled, people sit there, blocking the view of people behind.
Arm-rests on some of the other seats are missing, too. For a cinema said to have one of the best viewing technologies in the country, this is unbecoming, and if nothing is done quickly, viewers may get there and find no seats.
