Nollywood Top Grossing Films

kuni Isaac

The Nollywood industry has been on cutting edge of filmmaking/ storytelling, with the likes of filmmakers and directors like Kayode Kasum, Tunde Kelani, Kunle Afolayan, Kemi Adetiba and many more, in addition to the actors and other members of the crew that made the many of the movies on this list today

The industry has moved away from the quick-and-easy movies that can be completed in a few weeks, to movies that take months to a year, from scripting to release, and these require massive budgets. Of course, all parties and stakeholders involved in the production expect that these movies would do well at the box office. 

A number of the big budget movies are bought directly by the streaming services. These include: King of Boys 2 and Blood Sisters that were released directly to Netflix. However, most of them have cinema runs before they are picked up by the streaming services, and the best of them enjoy some box office successes. Below is a list of the top 15 Nollywood movies that hit above 150,000 million Naira in the Nigerian box office and how much they generated in Naira.

Currently we unveil from our database source the top grossing Nigerian movies in Nollywood
