The movie produced and directed Funke Akindele and her husband JJC Skillz ‘Omo Ghetto {The Saga}, closed the year 2020 for Nollywood with a major bang.

According to the report by CEAN, the star-studded box office movie which premiered 6 days ago on Christmas day has raked in a cumulative revenue of N124,178,450 million, just within its first week of being in the cinemas yet.

The ginormous figures place the film on Nollywood’s historical position as the first Nollywood film to gross over N98 million in its opening weekend and the highest-grossing movie of 2020.

Considering how slow the year has been for the film industry due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the new record comes as a shocker. The SceneOne TV production Omo Ghetto ‘The Saga’ knocks out ‘The Wedding Party 2’ from number one spot with its N 73.3 million opening weekend gross.

Starring Funke Akindele-Bello in the dual role of Lefty and Ayomide, Chioma Akpotha, Eniola Badmus, Tina Mba, Zubby Michael, Bimbo Thomas, Deyemi Okanlawon among others, the sequel follows the tale of twin sisters leading separate lives but are reunited by series of dramatic twists.
