With this solid debut, Something About the Briggs is set to be a serious player in the Nollywood box office scene.
Directed by Bukola Ogunsola, who also took on writing and producing duties, the film dives into the complicated dynamics of the Briggs family—a wealthy but troubled group dealing with marital and family strife.
The story skillfully tackles themes of love, forgiveness, and the ups and downs of relationships, hitting home for many viewers.
One of the standout features of the film is its incredible cast, which includes a mix of experienced actors like Stan Nze, Rita Dominic, Daniel Etim Effiong, Iyabo Ojo, Bukky Wright, Elma Mbadiwe, Tunbosun Aiyedehin, Gloria Anozie, Norbert Young, and Ariyiike Owolagba.
Their compelling performances bring emotional depth to the film, making the poignant storylines feel all the more real.
But it’s not just the script and cast that shine; Something About the Briggs also boasts stunning visuals. The meticulous attention to detail in the film's design reflects a dedication to authenticity, ensuring it captivates audiences on multiple levels.
Aside from the impressive debut of Something About the Briggs, other films are also making waves at the Nigerian box office. As of the latest updates, Everybody Loves Jenifa is still on top with a whopping N1.820 billion after eight weeks, while Mufasa has raked in N570.4 million in its seventh week.
Other films worth mentioning include Den of Thieves 2, which has earned N123.6 million in its fourth week, Alakada with N476 million in its seventh week, and The Waiter, sitting at N351.3 million also in its seventh week.
The strong showing of Something About the Briggs indicates that it’s resonating well with Nigerian audiences. As it keeps playing in theaters, it’s likely to draw in even more viewers, especially with Valentine’s Day just around the corner.
This success not only showcases the film's quality but also points to a bright future for Nollywood in 2025. The ongoing growth of the industry suggests that Nigerian films will continue to grab a bigger slice of the box office pie, both at home and abroad.
