Funke Akindele-Bello’s blockbuster comedy movie ‘Omo Ghetto’ (The Saga) has become the highest-grossing Nollywood film, the Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria (CEAN) has announced.
The association said in a recent report that Mrs. Akindele-Bello’s latest film, released late 2020, was the first in Nollywood to cross N500 million in the Nigerian box office.
“Omo Ghetto has officially broken a four-year record by knocking off Kemi Adetiba’s 2016 Comedy movie: The Wedding Party,” CEAN said.
“The movie (The Wedding Party) had been Nollywood’s highest-grossing movie with N453,000,000, while in third place is ‘The Wedding Party 2′ with N433,197,377,” it stated.
