Funke Akindele’s new movie, ‘A Tribe Called Judah’, has
become the first Nollywood film to surpass N1 billion at the box office.
‘A Tribe Called Judah’ earned N1 billion in three weeks
after it was released.
FilmHouse Group CEO, Kene Okwuosa, who announced the
historical feat in a statement on Thursday, noted that the world is witnessing
a golden era for Nigerian cinema.
“Akindele’s film has not only captivated audiences but has
also proven the resilience of Nigerian cinema in the face of global streaming
giants like Netflix and Prime Video,” the statement added.
‘A Tribe Called Judah’ became the first Nollywood movie to
gross over N113 million in its opening weekend after it was released on
December 15 2023, in cinemas.
Recall that Funke’s ‘Battle on Buka Street’ grossed N650
million at the box office in 2022.
