A Tribe Called Judah, the latest film project by Nigerian actress Funke Akindele, has quickly taken off and grown to become the highest-grossing film of 2023, earning an astounding N400 million in its first 12 days of release in cinemas.
The Nigerian box office emphasized this remarkable accomplishment in a tweet on Tuesday, highlighting the film’s significant influence on viewer interaction.
The statement, which was also shared on Instagram by Film One Entertainment, not only positions the movie as a blockbuster in 2023 but also places it in the elite group of the top five highest-grossing Nigerian films of all time, ranking alongside well-known works like “The Wedding Party” and “Omo Ghetto: The Saga.”
Notably, Nairametrics earlier revealed that the movie had taken in over 60 million Naira in its first two days of release, hinting at its remarkable box office run.
This new achievement follows in the footsteps of Akindele’s previous triumph with “Battle on Buka Street,” which, based on figures from the Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria (CEAN), made N640 million in theater sales over nine weeks, making it the second-highest-grossing film of 2022.
Funke Akindele is still making a name for herself in the Nigerian film business by telling powerful stories that connect with viewers and change the movie scene in a big way.
“A Tribe Called Judah,” which debuted on December 15, 2023, has quickly become a blockbuster hit, surpassing other well-known films including “Merry Men 3,” “Orisa,” “Kesari,” “The Kujus Again,” and “Something Like Gold.” This recent achievement demonstrates Funke Akindele’s skill as a director and strengthens the movie’s appeal to viewers.
Funke Akindele is the producer and co-director of the story, which centers on Jedidah Judah, a single mother, and her boys, who are all fathered by different men. A remarkable group of actors, including Jide Kene Achufusi and Timini Egbuson, brings the characters to life.
This accomplishment also puts “A Tribe Called Judah” in a class by itself and solidifies its reputation as one of the greatest movies ever made.
