"Gratitude overload" Wumi Toriola Celebrates Major Box Office Success, Challenges Funke Akindele's Record

Nollywood actress and filmmaker Wumi Toriola is making waves in the Nigerian film industry, recently announcing that her latest movie has crossed the impressive milestone of 100 million Naira at the box office. This achievement comes as her film, currently streaming across Nigeria, has set records as the highest opening for a non-holiday film and the highest by a distributor.

In a heartfelt message shared on her official social media account, Toriola expressed immense gratitude to her fans, acknowledging their role in this significant accomplishment. She urged those who have not yet seen the film to watch it, assuring them they won’t regret the experience.

“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 stated.

The announcement was met with an outpouring of congratulations from fellow celebrities and fans alike. Kie Kie expressed excitement, saying, “HIGHEST EVER!!!! E sweet me!” while Mo Bimpe and others also extended their congratulations.

In the backdrop of Toriola's success, Funke Akindele remains the highest-grossing Nollywood actress, director, and producer in Nigeria. Her recent projects, including A Tribe Called Judah, Battle On Buka Street, and Omo Ghetto: The Saga, hold the top three spots for the highest-grossing films in Nigeria, with A Tribe Called Judah earning over one billion Naira in 2023 alone.

Wumi Toriola’s rising box office success marks a new chapter in her career as she challenges Akindele's impressive legacy in Nollywood.
