Nollywood actress and filmmaker Wumi Toriola is making waves in the film industry as she sets her sights on rivaling her colleague Funke Akindele at the box office.
In a recent announcement, Wumi revealed that her trending movie, currently streaming across Nigeria, has reached an impressive milestone of 100 million Naira.
The film has achieved the remarkable status of the highest opening for a non-holiday movie and stands out as the highest grossing by a distributor. Sharing her excitement on social media, Wumi expressed deep gratitude to her fans for their support in achieving this feat.
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 Queen Lateefah—we promise you won’t regret it!” she wrote.
Heartwarming reactions and congratulatory messages flooded in, with many celebrating Toriola’s latest achievement. Kie Kie exclaimed, “HIGHEST EVER!!!! E sweet me!” while fellow actress Mo Bimpe added, “Oluwa seun. Big congratulations, sis.” Stan Nze, Jumoke Odetola, and Regina Chukwu also joined in with their heartfelt messages of congratulations.
Funke Akindele currently holds the title of the highest-grossing Nollywood actress, director, and producer in Nigeria. Her last three projects—A Tribe Called Judah, Battle On Buka Street, and Omo Ghetto The Saga—are the top three highest-grossing films in Nigeria. Notably, she achieved a remarkable record of over one billion Naira with A Tribe Called Judah in 2023.
