Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Funke Akindele, has estimated that her upcoming movie ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’ will make N5 billion when it appears in the cinema this December.
Speaking alongside members of the film’s cast in a widely shared video, Akindele expressed hope that the film will earn N5 billion this year.
“This year, we’re making N5 billion,” she stated.
The film would surpass the record set by another Funke Akindele film, “A Tribe Called Judah,” which became the first Nigerian film to reach one billion naira, if it makes the anticipated amount.
A number of celebrities, including Funke Akindele’s estranged friend Eniola Badmus, attended the Sunday night premiere of “Everybody Loves Jenifa” in Lagos.
