Funke Akindele has once again made history in Nollywood, with her latest film “Behind the Scenes” claiming the title of highest-grossing Nigerian movie of 2025 and achieving the fastest climb to N500 million at the box office.

Distribution company FilmOne announced the milestone on Instagram Monday, revealing that the film has earned N512 million while topping weekend cinema charts across West Africa. “Thank you, West Africa, for showing up, filling cinemas, and carrying this story with love,” the company wrote, celebrating what they described as “a historic run.”

The film achieved this remarkable feat within days of its theatrical release, surpassing competing titles in Nigerian and Ghanaian cinemas. “Behind the Scenes” tells the story of Ronke Fernandez, a successful woman navigating challenges to her generosity and personal boundaries. Akindele leads a star-studded ensemble including Tobi Bakre, Iyabo Ojo, Uzor Arukwe, Mr Macaroni, Destiny Etiko, and Scarlet Gomez.

This success continues Akindele’s extraordinary box office dominance. Her 2024 release “Everybody Loves Jenifa” broke multiple records by racing past N500 million before ultimately crossing the N1 billion threshold. In 2022, “Battle on Buka Street” earned over N668 million, while her 2020 production “Omo Ghetto: The Saga” grossed more than N636 million and held the record for highest-grossing Nollywood film until her subsequent releases surpassed it.
