A Full-Day Media Experience Sets the Tone for the Comedy’s Nationwide Release
FilmOne Entertainment rolled out the red carpet on November 19, 2025, hosting an exclusive press junket in Lagos for its newly released family comedy, Grandpa Must Obey. The event gathered top Nollywood talent, the film’s director, key media houses, entertainment journalists, and social influencers for an immersive day of conversations around the film’s themes, production journey, and signature comedic tone.
A Strategic Push Ahead of Nationwide Release
Designed as a high-energy pre-launch activation, the press junket helped build anticipation ahead of the film’s official cinema debut on Friday, November 21, 2025, across Filmhouse Cinemas and other participating theatres nationwide.
The interactive sessions positioned the comedy as one of the season’s must-watch family films, fuelling early buzz across traditional and digital platforms.
Cast & Director Share Insights on Craft and Culture
During the conversation segments, the cast and director opened up about the creative process behind the movie — from shaping the characters to balancing humour with cultural commentary.
They highlighted the film’s focus on family dynamics, generational clashes, and the hilarious chaos that erupts when a stubborn grandfather is forced to adjust to rapidly changing times and an even more stubborn household.
Media Enjoy Behind-the-Scenes Exclusives
Journalists and influencers were treated to behind-the-scenes anecdotes, character deep dives, and plenty of comedic moments from the cast. The day featured curated interview blocks, photography sessions, and early content capture for TV, print, and social media amplification — giving the media a front-row seat into the film’s creative world.
“The energy in the room was incredible. Grandpa Must Obey blends nostalgia, humour, and heart in a way the entire family will enjoy,” said Simisola Korede, one of the attendees. “This junket gave us a first-hand feel of how special the film is before it hits cinemas.”
Now Showing Nationwide
Produced by Trino Motion Pictures, Grandpa Must Obey officially opened in cinemas nationwide on Friday, November 21, 2025, delivering a fun, lighthearted, and laughter-filled experience just in time for the weekend rush.
