Nollywood filmmaker Funke Akindele’s latest release, Behind The Scenes, has continued its impressive box office momentum, recording strong performance beyond Nigeria’s shores and reinforcing its status as one of the year’s biggest cinema successes.
The film has grossed £93,094 at the box office across the United Kingdom and Ireland, adding to its growing list of milestones both at home and abroad. Industry observers say the overseas performance highlights the expanding global appetite for Nigerian films, particularly among diaspora audiences.
Akindele expressed gratitude to cinema-goers in the UK and Ireland for their support, noting that the film’s international reception reflects the power of Nollywood storytelling to travel across borders. The sustained box office run follows earlier record-breaking achievements in Nigeria, where the film set new benchmarks for speed and scale of earnings.
With Behind The Scenes continuing to draw audiences internationally, analysts say the film’s success underscores Nollywood’s rising influence in global cinema markets and Funke Akindele’s position as one of the industry’s most bankable filmmakers.
