The film, already holding the honour of being the highest-grossing Nollywood film, broke Box Office records in the UK by earning an impressive £80,000 in just four weeks of streaming.

The announcement was made on the image-sharing platform, Instagram, by the entertainment company, Film One.

“One and only Big Baller @funkejenifaakindele. Congratulations on your UK Numbers. We love a focused Queen,” it wrote in a post.

Over the past three years, Funke Akindele has consistently broken records and established fresh milestones with her blockbuster films, including ‘Omo Ghetto the Saga’ (2020) and ‘Battle on the Buka Street’ (2022).

Both films have been named Hollywood’s highest-grossing films in Nollywood history, with the former raking in over ₦636 million and the latter achieving more than ₦668 million at the box office.

Continuing her winning streak, Funke’s latest Christmas offering, ‘A Tribe Called Judah,’ has once again made history by securing the largest opening ever for both a Funke Akindele film and a Nollywood production, amassing a staggering N122 million at the box office in less than two weeks. This is according to Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria records.

A Tribe Called Judah is a family drama that resonates with its audience in multiple dimensions. Without any exaggeration, it’s safe to assert that Funke Akindele surpassed her standards with this production.

” I salute Nigerians for their enduring support and patronage of home-grown creative efforts. We will provide a conducive environment for the industry to thrive further,” President Tinubu said.
