A Nollywood movie broke box office records by being the first Nigerian film to make 1 billion naira ($1. 1 million) in local theaters.
A group called Tribe Called Judah did something amazing in just three weeks.
Nigerian actor, director, and producer Funke Akindele thanked her fans for achieving a milestone.
“Thank you God. thank you Nigeria. thank you Ghana. ” she wrote on Instagram and got lots of congratulations.
Akindele, who is 46 years old, is now confirmed as the director who has made the most money in Nollywood.
A Tribe Called Judah is going to make more money in Nigerian theaters than popular Hollywood movies like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
“This accomplishment is not just about numbers. It shows the strength of storytelling, cultural pride, and the determined spirit of Nollywood,” FilmOne Entertainment wrote on Instagram.
The film is considered a very special part of our culture.
The company also said nice things about Akindele and her dedication to telling stories has made a big impact on Nigerian cinema.
The movie, A Tribe Called Judah, has gotten great reviews from both critics and fans. It’s also doing really well on movie review websites.
The movie is about five brothers who plan to rob a mall to help their mother who is struggling with money. It was inspired by the director’s late mother, to whom she dedicated the film.
