Nollywood filmmaker, Funke Akindele’s Everybody Loves Jenifa has hit and surpassed the ₦1 billion record becoming the highest-grossing Nollywood movie of all time. Surpassing Toyin Abraham’s Alakada: Bad and Boujee, the film’s distributor, FilmOne took to their Instagram page to announce the newest achievement. “Everybody Loves Jenifa has officially hit a historic 1.466 Billion Naira and counting at the box office, making it the highest-grossing film of all time! 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 post said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FilmOne Entertainment (@filmoneng)
Akindele has done it again, this time, even bigger. In less than two weeks, the film surpassed ₦1 Billion. If we take a trip down memory lane, Funke has been dominating the Nigerian box office for years. Last year, her film A Tribe Called Judah made history as the first Nollywood movie to cross the ₦1 billion mark, enforcing her legacy as the queen of the big screen.
