Breaking Her Own Mold:

This isn’t the first time Akindele has rocked the box office. Notably, “Omo Ghetto: The Saga” grossed N636 million in 2020, and “Battle on Buka Street” brought in N668 million in 2022. But “A Tribe Called Judah” has surpassed them all, setting a new standard for Nollywood and beyond.

A Thrilling Tale of Family and Heist:

The movie follows a family’s daring plan to rob a luxury furniture store in a mall, only to find themselves facing off against another group of armed robbers already on the scene. It’s a tale of high stakes, humor, and heart, and audiences have flocked to see it.

Numbers Don’t Lie:

Since its release on December 15th, 2023, “A Tribe Called Judah” has amassed over 285,000 admissions and N1.06 billion in gross earnings. This breakdown gives you a glimpse into its meteoric rise:

Advanced screenings: N9.8 million
Day 7 + advance: N238.1 million
Day 14 + advance: N677.9 million
Day 21 + advance: N1.06 billion

The Queen’s Share:

While specific details of the profit-sharing agreement remain confidential, standard exhibitor accounting suggests that executive producers, including Akindele, could take home around 35-40% of the gross earnings. This translates to a potential N350 million – N450 million payday for the team behind this blockbuster.

A Milestone for Nollywood:

Akindele’s success isn’t just about personal gain; it’s a major victory for the entire Nigerian film industry. Her achievement dethrones the previous record holder, the Hollywood sci-fi film “Black Panther 2,” which grossed N1.04 billion. This proves that Nollywood can compete with international giants and deliver films that resonate with audiences worldwide.

Beyond Box Office Numbers:

But the impact goes beyond financial figures. “A Tribe Called Judah” showcases the talent and potential of Nigerian filmmakers and actors. It sends a message to exhibitors, film executives, and investors that Nollywood is worth their attention and investment, especially in the post-pandemic recovery phase.

The Show’s Not Over:

“A Tribe Called Judah” continues to play strong in cinemas, and projections suggest it might reach a staggering N1.5 billion in gross sales by early to mid-February. So, there’s no stopping this box office juggernaut anytime soon!

Funke Akindele has once again proven herself to be the undisputed queen of the Nigerian box office. With her knack for storytelling, her understanding of audience preferences, and her dedication to quality filmmaking, she continues to raise the bar for Nollywood and inspire a new generation of filmmakers.
