Popular Nollywood filmmaker and actress, Funke Akindele, has once again cemented her place in African cinema history with a record-breaking box office performance.

Her latest film, Behind The Scenes, has officially crossed the ₦2 billion mark at the box office, becoming the first Nollywood production to achieve this historic milestone.

The achievement was disclosed in a post on X (formerly Twitter) by the film’s distributor, FilmOne Entertainment, which revealed that the movie has grossed ₦2,103,039,706 in ticket sales.

According to FilmOne, this unprecedented feat makes Behind The Scenes the highest-grossing Nollywood film of all time in Africa, as well as the top-grossing Nollywood release in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The record-breaking success further reinforces Akindele’s status as Africa’s most commercially successful filmmaker, and the highest-grossing writer, director, and producer in West African film history.
