Actress Wumi Toriola’s debut cinema production, Queen Lateefah, has reached a significant milestone, grossing ₦350 million just two months after its release. This achievement secures its position as the 7th highest-grossing Nollywood film of all time.
Cinemax Nigeria, the film’s distributor, celebrated the success on Instagram, stating, “Queen Lateefah still waxing strong and shining bright! Grossing 350M and 7th Highest Grossing Nollywood Title of All Time! Big thank you to everyone who has seen this masterpiece.
Queen Lateefah had a record-breaking opening weekend, earning ₦57.7 million, making it the highest Nollywood weekend gross for a non-holiday period in 2024. Co-produced by Wumi Toriola Productions and Captain of the Sea Productions, the film explores themes of ambition, self-identity, and the consequences of living a facade.
The star-studded cast includes Kunle Remi, Femi Adebayo, Nancy Isime, Broda Shaggi, Bimbo Manuel, Elvina Ibru, and Gbugbemi Ejeye.
As Nollywood continues to break barriers, both Queen Lateefah and upcoming projects like Everybody Loves Jenifa are testament to the industry’s growing influence and success on the global stage.
