I’m not only owner of N1.8bn cinema earnings – Funke Akindele

Actress Funke Akindele has playfully called on fans to help push her movie ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’ to a new box office milestone of N2 billion.

The film has already earned an impressive N1.8 billion, but Akindele, with a lighthearted tone, explained that she doesn’t get to pocket the full amount, as cinemas, tax authorities, and distributors all take their share.

Jokingly, the actress suggested she might be “satisfied” with the N2 billion target, urging her followers to continue supporting the film in cinemas.

Sharing a video via her X (formally Twitter) handle she wrote, “I beg no be only me get the 1.8billion o!!! Cinema go collect, tax go collect, distributor go collect!!!! Maybe when I get to 2Bnaira, I fit settle. So pls go see #eljthemovie in cinemas and take us to 2billion naira. Thank you.”
