‘Everybody Loves Jenifa‘, a film produced by Funke Akindele, has become the highest-grossing Nollywood film of all time.
FilmOne Studios, the entertainment company, announced the
remarkable feat in a post via its Instagram page on Tuesday.
The post revealed that the movie, released across cinemas on
December 11, has grossed over N1.466 billion in less than a month.
“Everybody Loves Jenifa has officially hit a historic N1.466
billion and counting at the box office, making it the highest-grossing film of
all time!” it reads.
“A massive thank you to our incredible audiences in Nigeria
and Ghana for making this dream a reality! Your support is everything.
“On to even greater heights! Still showing in cinemas near
you—experience the magic on the big screen.”
The film is part of the popular Jenifa franchise, which has
been entertaining audiences since 2008.
The movie features an ensemble cast, including Layi Wasabi,
Nancy Isime, Jackie Appiah, Falz, Omowunmi Dada, Chimezie Imo, Patience
Ozokwor, and Stan Nze.
This is not the first time a movie by Akindele will be
making history in the Nollywood industry.
In January 2024, ‘A Tribe Called Judah’ became the first
Nollywood movie to hit N1 billion at the Nigerian box office.
‘Battle On Buka Street’ was also named Nollywood’s
highest-grossing film with N640m in 2023.
