‘Everybody Loves Jennifer’ Hits Box Office Gold with $190,000 in 8 Days
Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has done it again with her new movie Everybody Loves Jennifer. The movie has made $190,000 in just 8 days and she’s solidifying her position as a force to be reckoned with in Nollywood.
This is coming after her previous record-breaking success with Battle on Buka Street, which is still the highest-grossing movie in Nollywood. She has a way of connecting with her audience both locally and internationally, and that’s why she’s one of the most bankable in African cinema.
She took to Instagram to celebrate the movie’s success and shared her joy and appreciation with her fans and team. Here’s what she posted: “$194,560 and counting in 8 days. Who else but God? 🙌 Big thanks to my hardworking cast, lovely colleagues and unstoppable Jenifans. YOU are the superstars.”
The term “Jenifans” is a reference to her die hard fans. They not only support her work but also help promote her movies.
Everybody Loves Jennifer is the latest in Akindele’s cinematic work, comedy, culture and relatable storytelling. The movie shows themes of love, resilience, and self discovery and resonates with all age groups and demographics.
Industry experts say the movie’s fast financial success is due to Akindele’s unique storytelling, her social media presence, and her ability to get a great cast. This combination has made her movies always top the box office.
Akindele’s success is not just personal, it’s a milestone for Nollywood. Nollywood has grown exponentially in recent years and Akindele’s work is putting the spotlight on the potential of African cinema to compete globally. Her movies are not just breaking records but also opening up conversations on representation, diversity and the global appeal of African stories.
As Everybody Loves Jennifer is still in the cinemas, we can’t wait to see how far it will go. The movie is a reminder that Nollywood is in demand locally and internationally.
