Funke Akindele’s latest movie, “Everybody Loves Jenifa,” has achieved a record-breaking feat, grossing ₦1.466 billion at the box office and counting, according to its distributor, FilmOne. This impressive milestone is a testament to Akindele’s lasting impact on the Nigerian film industry and her ability to create content that resonates with audiences.

The film’s success is particularly notable, given the strong competition it faced from other notable releases, including “Alakada: Bad and Boujee” by Toyin Abraham. “Everybody Loves Jenifa” reached the ₦1 billion mark in under two weeks, a feat that solidifies Akindele’s position as a pioneer in the industry.

This achievement is not Akindele’s first record-breaking success, as her previous film, “A Tribe Called Judah,” was also the first Nollywood movie to surpass the ₦1 billion milestone. With “Everybody Loves Jenifa,” Akindele has reaffirmed her dominance at the Nigerian box office, further cementing her status as a leading figure in the industry.
