First Canal Olympia cinema theatre opens June 14

The Vivendi group has announced that the cinema theatre and performance hall labelled Canal Olympia, whose construction works are currently ongoing on the campus of the Yaoundé I University, in the Cameroonian capital, will officially open on June 14, 2016.

Reliable sources inform that, after Yaoundé, this company specialised in entertainment is planning, as part of its programme aimed st investing in the cultural industry in Africa, to build at least two other cinema and performance halls in the cities of Douala and Bafoussam.

As a reminder, Cameroon no longer has a cinema since January 2009, when the Abbia Cinema in Yaoundé and the Wouri in Douala were closed. These two cinemas belonged to businessman Victor Fotso.
