A report from the Box Office on Monday highlighted that Nollywood also made a strong impact, with Reel Love bringing in ₦99.3 million during its debut weekend.
This romantic drama's fantastic start positions it as a serious local competitor in a market usually ruled by Hollywood films.
“Little drops of water make a mighty ocean, and every single one of you has been a part of this incredible wave! Reel Love has shattered records at the box office, and it’s all thanks to your unwavering support—every ticket bought, every share, every cheer. This is OUR victory,” producer Timini Egbuson shared on Instagram on Monday.
On another note, Summer Rain kept its momentum going in its second weekend, adding ₦16.3 million to reach a total of ₦41.4 million.
Even in its tenth week, ELJ is still a box office giant, pulling in another ₦13.2 million and bringing its total to an impressive ₦1.866 billion.
Bukola Ogunsola’s Something About the Briggs held steady in its third week with ₦12.5 million, totaling ₦68.9 million.
A new film, Chhava, made a splash with a ₦10.5 million opening. While its numbers are smaller compared to Captain America and Reel Love, its unique plot has piqued the interest of moviegoers.
2025 is kicking off strong for the Nigerian box office, showing a steady recovery with February being a great month for both international and local films.
Experts believe that upcoming Nollywood releases could shake things up even more, especially as audiences continue to rally behind homegrown content.
