Funke Akindele’s ‘Behind The Scenes’ Crosses ₦512 Million Box Office Mark in 12 Days

Funke Akindele’s latest Nollywood release, Behind The Scenes, has officially grossed ₦512 million within 12 days of its cinema release, according to figures published by industry trackers and confirmed by FilmOne Entertainment, the movie’s distributor. The film opened strongly and sustained daily earnings across cinemas nationwide, placing it among the highest-grossing Nigerian films of 2025 so far. The figures are based on ticket sales from major cinema chains including FilmHouse, Genesis Cinemas and Silverbird Cinemas.

The movie’s performance builds on Akindele’s established box office record following the commercial success of earlier titles such as A Tribe Called Judah and Omo Ghetto: The Saga. Behind The Scenes benefits from wide domestic distribution, high screen count and strong turnout during the holiday movie period. Cinema revenue data shows that the film crossed the ₦500 million threshold before the end of its second weekend, a benchmark only a limited number of Nollywood films have achieved in such a short time frame.

With the ₦512 million milestone, Behind The Scenes strengthens Funke Akindele’s position as one of the most commercially successful figures in Nigerian cinema, driven by consistent audience demand and measurable ticket sales rather than promotional hype.
