The last 11 months of 2025 have been nothing short of transformative for the Nigerian box office.
With projections pointing toward a record N15 billion in total ticket sales by year-end, the industry is riding a wave of unprecedented growth.
By August, gross revenues had already eclipsed N10 billion, a 58% leap from the same period in 2024 while cinema admissions climbed to 1.84 million, reflecting a population increasingly hungry for both stories from home and spectacles from abroad.
While big hits from 2024, like Funke Akindele’s Everybody Loves Jenifa and Alakada: Bad and Boujee, continued to resonate with audiences, the real story of 2025 lies in the year’s fresh releases.
These films didn’t just dominate box office charts; they proved that Nigerian cinema is no longer just a local affair. In 2025, audiences embraced stories that celebrate homegrown talent and global spectacle alike, confirming that the country’s cinema culture has truly come of age.
