Nollywood superstar and filmmaker Funke Akindele has set an audacious target for her highly anticipated film, ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’, projecting a staggering N5 billion in box office earnings when it debuts this December.
In a captivating viral video alongside members of the movie’s cast, Akindele’s confidence was palpable as she declared, “We are making N5 billion this year.”
Her bold prediction has sparked conversations across the entertainment industry and among fans.
If the movie hits the projected mark, it will not only redefine box office success but also shatter the record set by Akindele’s previous blockbuster, ‘A Tribe Called Judah’, which became the first Nigerian movie to cross the N1 billion milestone.
The star-studded premiere of ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’ took place on Sunday night in Lagos, drawing a constellation of celebrities, including Akindele’s estranged friend, Eniola Badmus, in what many are calling a surprising reunion.
