Everybody Loves Jenifer Now All Time Highest Grossing Nollywood Film - N1.466B by sunky97: 11:55pm On Jan 13
In just 12 days Akindele’s feature surpassed the ₦1 billion mark.


Her latest film, Everybody Loves Jenifa, has shattered records to become the highest-grossing film in Nigerian box office history.

In doing so, it has not only maintained a commanding hold on the top spot but has also pushed Disney's highly-anticipated Mufasa: The Lion King to a distant second place.



Globally, Mufasa: The Lion King reigns supreme in key territories like France, India, the UK/Ireland, and Italy, among others.

But in Nigeria, the film has struggled to keep pace with the massive fanbase and cultural resonance Funke Akindele commands.

This phenomenon isn't new. In 2022, Akindele’s Battle On Buka Street pulled off a similar feat during the holiday season, outshining James Cameron’s global juggernaut, Avatar: The Way of Water.

Despite the massive marketing push behind Cameron’s sequel, Akindele's local hit resonated more deeply with Nigerian audiences, securing the top spot at the national box office.


Everybody Loves Jenifa, the latest installment in Akindele’s beloved comedy series, has grossed an astounding ₦1.466 billion at the Nigerian box office

Meanwhile, the last reported figure for Mufasa: The Lion King stood at just over ₦173 million—a distant runner-up.

By comparison, when Everybody Loves Jenifa crossed ₦780 million, Mufasa was already far behind.

Dominating Nollywood’s all-time chart
With this latest achievement, Akindele now dominates the top four positions on Nollywood’s all-time box office list.

Her previous film, A Tribe Called Judah, was the first Nigerian production to breach the ₦1 billion mark.


Following closely are Battle On Buka Street and Omo Ghetto: The Saga, which hold the third and fourth positions, respectively.


This remarkable feat has solidified Funke Akindele’s status as a force to reckon with in Nigerian cinema.

Her ability to consistently outpace Hollywood's biggest productions at home speaks volumes about her cultural impact, storytelling prowess, and the unwavering loyalty of her fanbase.

In Nigeria, Akindele is not just a filmmaker; she’s a phenomenon.


Her involvement in Everybody Loves Jenifa is one of the key factors contributing to its box office success.

Akindele's large fanbase, not only in Nigeria but across the globe, ensures a massive turnout in cinemas, particularly as her comedy-drama series Jenifa’s Diary has maintained a cult following for years.

With a character like Jenifa; funny, and relatable, there’s already a built-in audience eager to see what the latest installment holds.

Her versatility and staying power make her one of the most marketable faces in nollywood

An impressive opening: ₦1.4 Billion in 12 days
Earning ₦1.4 billion in just 12 days is a monumental achievement for Everybody Loves Jenifa.


This figure places the film among the top earners in Nollywood history, alongside high-budget blockbusters like The Wedding Party (2016) and King of Boys (2018).
