Nollywood star and filmmaker Funke Akindele has set a new milestone in the Nigerian film industry as her latest movie, Behind the Scenes, has grossed over ₦2.1 billion at the local box office.
The achievement makes Behind the Scenes the first Nollywood film to surpass the ₦2 billion mark in Nigerian cinemas, further cementing Akindele’s position as the country’s most commercially successful filmmaker.
Beyond the local market, the film has also posted strong international returns, earning over $111,256 in Canada and $190,249 across North America, reflecting the growing global appetite for Nigerian films.
The movie is now regarded as the highest-grossing Nollywood title across Africa, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.
