The movie broke records as the first Nollywood production to surpass the $2 billion mark at the box office in Nigeria, according to the NOA.
It also cited the film’s overseas success, which earned more than $111, 256 in Canada and $ 90, 249 in North America, as evidence of “nollywood’s growing global appeal.”
The success, according to the agency, has made Akindele the first director to top the African box office for three straight years, making Behind the Scenes the highest-grossing Nollywood movie in Africa, the UK, and Ireland.
On January 12, Akindele broke the $2 billion milestone, making her the highest-grossing director in Africa.
FilmOne Entertainment earlier confirmed the feat, calling it unprecedented and record-breaking for the Nigerian film industry.
Akindele praised discipline, faith, and a commitment to storytelling as the reasons for their success.
Records are milestones, not the purpose. She said, “Serve the story, respect the audience, perfect the craft, and give the work its applause.”
