Jubilation as Wumi Toriola’s Movie Breaks Box Office Record
Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Wumi Toriola, is on cloud nine as her latest movie has achieved remarkable success in the Nigerian box office. Toriola announced that her film has hit a milestone, grossing over 100 million Naira, making it the highest-opening non-holiday film distributed in Nigeria.
Taking to her social media page, Wumi expressed immense gratitude to her fans and urged more Nigerians to watch the film, promising they wouldn’t regret the experience.
She wrote:
“Gratitude overload. Our movie just hit a staggering 100 million at the box office! We’re beyond thankful to all our incredible Nigerian fans and everyone who has experienced the magic on the big screen. To those who haven’t, please watch Queenlateefah, we promise you won’t regret it.”
The announcement sparked a wave of congratulations from colleagues and fans alike, with celebrities like Kie Kie, Mo Bimpe, Stan Nze, and Jumoke Odetola cheering her on.
Toriola’s success has led to comparisons with Funke Akindele, the reigning box office queen in Nigeria. Akindele holds the record for the highest-grossing Nollywood films, with her recent project A Tribe Called Judah grossing over a billion Naira.
As Wumi Toriola continues to climb the box office charts, fans are eager to see how far her film will go and whether she will surpass Funke Akindele’s iconic record.
