Timini Egbuson’s Valentine’s Day film Reel Love has emerged as the highest-grossing Nollywood film for two consecutive weekends, raking in an impressive N167.2 million at the box office.
FilmOne made the announcement on Monday on Instagram, sharing a promotional poster of the film with the caption: “Only up from here! Reel Love has grossed over N167 million and counting! Thank you for showing this movie your love and support.”
The romantic comedy, co-produced by FilmOne Studios and distributed by FilmOne Entertainment, had a strong start, earning N99.3 million during its opening weekend from February 14 to 16. Despite its remarkable performance, Reel Love trailed behind Captain America, which grossed approximately N121.7 million within the same period.
Released on February 14, Reel Love follows the story of a popular relationship influencer, Tomide Jobi (Timini Egbuson), who finds himself at odds with a headstrong woman, Rita Monday. The film stars Atlanta Bridget Johnson, Funke Akindele, Hermes Iyele, Bimbo Ademoye, Chico Aligwekwe, Dakore Akande, and Efa Iwara.
The film grossed N107.55 million within its first five days and is projected to surpass N200 million within 10 days, making it the first Nollywood production to achieve that feat in 2025, ahead of Summer Rain and Something About the Briggs.
