Funke Akindele’s latest movie, Everybody Loves Jennifer (ELJ), has set a new Nollywood record, grossing over ₦45.2 million on its opening day.
The acclaimed actress and producer continues to raise the bar in Nollywood, earning global recognition for her contributions to the industry.
The Nigerian Box Office, via its official X (formerly Twitter) account, confirmed that ELJ achieved the highest-ever opening day earnings for a Nollywood film, with over 9,000 admissions. This milestone surpasses the debut figures of Akindele’s previous blockbuster, A Tribe Called Judah, which recorded 8,870 admissions.
Remarkably, these figures do not include advanced screening revenue, further highlighting the film’s extraordinary success.
“Everybody Loves Jenifa shattered box office records yesterday. It had the biggest opening day for a Nollywood film with ₦45.2M! ELJ drew 9,409 admissions, surpassing ATCJ’s 8,870 despite not screening at Genesis & missing most of the day at Silverbird Cinemas.
“All of these are outside of the advanced screening.
“Please note that the final figures could be slightly more,” NBO stated.
The movie features some of Nollywood stars, including Nancy Isime, Bisola Aiyeola, Stan Nze, among others.
