Legit.ng earlier reported that Funke Akindele’s latest movie, Behind The Scenes, has officially become the highest-grossing Nollywood film of 2025, crossing the ₦1 billion mark barely two weeks after its release.
The announcement was made by the film’s distributor, FilmOne Entertainment.
According to FilmOne, 'Behind the Scenes' did more than just perform well.
The movie reportedly broke five opening-weekend records, including the highest single-day gross ever recorded on Boxing Day, pulling in ₦129.5 million in one day.
The distributor described the achievement as historic, noting that the film is now the fastest in West Africa to cross ₦1 billion at the box office.
Reacting to the milestone, Funke Akindele wrote on Instagram:
“Over the years, I’ve always valued my fans, because without God and you, I am nobody."
She thanked movie lovers who showed up in cinemas, distributors, colleagues who supported the project even without appearing in the film, and the entire cast and crew.
Behind The Scenes now joins Akindele’s elite list of billion-naira films, following A Tribe Called Judah and Everybody Loves Jenifa.
The latter remains Nollywood’s highest-grossing film of all time and delivered the biggest opening weekend in the industry’s history.
