According to Pulse Nigeria, Toyin Abraham’s Oversabi Aunty has surged to about ₦711.5 million in box-office revenue, tightening competition at the very top of Nollywood’s current cinema cycle.
The headline number matters because it’s not just a good opening—it suggests durable audience pull across multiple weeks, which is where real box-office power shows up.
For cinemas and distributors, this kind of run influences screen allocation, showtime priority, and the bargaining dynamics for the next wave of major titles.
Two additional public references echoed the same development:

When two titles are simultaneously putting up monster numbers, the industry gets a rare blockbuster corridor that can lift the whole ecosystem—cinemas, marketing agencies, soundtrack licensing, and streaming negotiations later. Watch weekend-to-weekday drop-off, fresh distributor tallies, and whether other studios adjust release dates to ride the wave.
