Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has called on fans to help her latest movie, Everybody Loves Jenifa, cross the N2 billion mark at the box office. In a lighthearted post, she clarified that while the film has already grossed N1.8 billion, a significant portion of the earnings is shared with cinemas, tax authorities, and distributors.
Akindele humorously noted that many assume she keeps the entire revenue, but the reality is different. She playfully suggested that she might finally “settle” once the film hits N2 billion.
She encouraged her audience to keep showing up at cinemas and supporting the project to achieve this milestone.
Using the hashtag #eljthemovie, she urged fans to spread the word and drive more ticket sales. Her appeal highlights the competitive nature of Nigeria’s film industry, where box office success depends on sustained audience engagement and repeated viewership.
Akindele’s movies have consistently performed well in Nigerian cinemas, with her previous projects breaking records. Everybody Loves Jenifa continues her streak as one of the country’s most bankable filmmakers.
