Nollywood romantic comedy Call of My Life has surpassed the N893 million mark at the Nigerian box office, extending its strong theatrical run and emerging as one of the country’s biggest film successes of 2026.
The latest milestone was announced by the film’s distributor, FilmOne Entertainment, in a social media post on Monday, as the movie continues to attract audiences several months after its release.
Celebrating the achievement, the distributor said, “CALL OF MY LIFE is officially in the N893M club and the love keeps pouring in!”
FilmOne also attributed the film’s impressive performance to the continued support of moviegoers, praising audiences for turning out in large numbers to see the production in cinemas.
According to the distributor, audiences had “showed up, filled cinemas, and made this journey one for the books.”
Released in May 2026, Call of My Life tells the story of Soluchi, a hopeless romantic struggling to rebuild her life after suffering heartbreak when her former lover abandons her.
Her circumstances take an unexpected turn when a routine work call brings her into contact with Eli. What begins as an ordinary professional interaction gradually opens the possibility of a new romantic relationship, setting the stage for the film’s blend of romance, comedy and emotional drama.
The movie was written by Uzoamaka Power and features a notable ensemble cast, including Andrew Yaw Bunting, Zubby Michael, Beverly Osu, Nkem Owoh, Patience Ozokwor, Broda Shaggi and Justin UG.
Dammy Twitch directed the film, while Blessing Uzzi produced it under Bluehouse Studios.
The film’s box-office achievement is particularly notable because it was released outside Nollywood’s traditional December blockbuster window, a period that typically attracts some of the industry’s biggest theatrical releases.
Call of My Life had earlier made history by becoming the first Nollywood film released outside December to surpass the N600 million mark at the box office.
With its latest N893 million milestone, the romantic comedy has continued to demonstrate the growing appetite for locally produced films beyond the industry’s peak festive-season period.
