Slum Dog Millionaire is actually a British movies directed by Danny Boyle.

You are quite right. Maybe when we get an English or American director to do a film on the Nigerian experience then we could be in contention unless our own Nollywood practitioners wake up & make good quality movies with acceptance beyond the continent of Africa.
The Movies themselves – now, I could go on, but let me just say this, when Bruce Willis came out with Die-Hard one, it was a huge success. Then number two Die-Hard came out and it was bearable, still. However, when Die-Hard number three came out people were frankly fed-up; after all, how much ‘harder’ can one person possibly die? You get my drift? Finish a movie in part one, or two, if need be, but please, spare us part three, especially if part two lasted but just one hour!
On this I will disagree, remember the recent success of Die Hard 4.0, Rambo 4, Indiana Jones 4, what about the Spiderman franchise; all 3 movies grossed over $300M each domestically in the USA. What about Star Wars & it's six episodes, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Carribean & many more.
The most important aspect for regular success of any movie franchise is good acting, good directing, good plot lines, great special fx, editing etc & good timing to boot.
