Funke Akindele's 'Behind the Scenes' storms to N2.103 billion in one month, crowning it Africa's highest-grossing Nollywood film ever and her third straight billion-plus smash after 'A Tribe Called Judah' (N1.4B) and 'Everybody Loves Jenifa' (N1.88B). FilmOne Entertainment hailed the feat Tuesday – first African movie crossing N2B, topping UK-Ireland charts too, with Boxing Day alone raking N129.5M in record single-day glory. The all-star saga of real estate boss Ronky-Fella's family-loyalty tightrope, starring Scarlet Gomez, Iyabo Ojo, Destiny Etiko, and Tobi Bakre, hooked crowds via word-of-mouth and N1B+ budget polish under Funke Ayotunde Akindele Network.
Akindele, West Africa's box office queen with N5.3B+ across three years, thanked fans: "Joy overflows... Let's keep pushing," cementing her writer-director-producer dominance amid inflation squeezing wallets. The run flips Nollywood economics – fastest to N1B in 17 days, defying cinema droughts as streaming wars rage with Netflix drops.
