Call of My Life and Iwe Àlà have continued to post strong box office performances, highlighting the growing appeal of Nollywood productions among cinema audiences.
According to FilmOne Entertainment, Call of My Life has grossed more than N628 million at the West African box office, making it the highest-grossing Nollywood film of 2026 so far.
The distributor said the romance drama had remained the number one film for six consecutive weekends and became the first Nollywood release outside the December festive season to surpass N600 million in ticket sales.
Meanwhile, Iwe Àlà (An Ojúde Ọba Story) placed second at the weekend box office with earnings of N43 million, with its distributor attributing the performance to growing audience interest in culturally themed stories.
The performances of both films underscore the increasing commercial success of locally produced movies and the growing acceptance of indigenous stories by cinema-goers across the region.
