FilmOne Studios has recorded a defining commercial moment as Oversabi
Aunty, co-produced with Toyin Abraham Films Production, crosses the
₦1.08 billion mark at the Nigerian box office in 2026. With a current gross
of ₦1,081,177,001, the film has firmly secured its place among Nollywood’s
highest-grossing theatrical releases.
The milestone underscores the sustained commercial momentum of the
FilmOne and Toyin Abraham creative partnership. In 2026, Oversabi Aunty has surpassed the ₦1 billion mark effectively doubling box office scale in consecutive years.
Commenting on the milestone, Kene Okwuosa, Group CEO, Filmhouse
Group (FilmOne Entertainment, Filmhouse Cinemas, FilmOne
Studios), said: This milestone is significant not only because Oversabi Aunty has crossed.
₦1 billion, but because of the trajectory it confirms. The progression from
₦500 million in 2025 to ₦1 billion in 2026 reflects sustained audience
growth, disciplined execution, and the value of long-term creative partnerships.”
The performance of Oversabi Aunty also highlights FilmOne’s vertically
integrated operating model. Co-produced by FilmOne Studios and Toyin
Abraham Films Production, the film benefitted from early alignment across
development, production, marketing, and theatrical distribution, ensuring
consistency of intent and execution across the value chain.
Over multiple projects, including the Alakada titles and subsequent
releases, FilmOne has partnered with Toyin Abraham across both
production and distribution, establishing a repeatable framework that
strengthens audience trust and enables increasingly scalable commercial
outcomes.
Ladun Awobokun, Chief Content Officer, FilmOne Entertainment,
added:“What stands out is not just the milestone, but the momentum behind it.
Growth from ₦500 million to ₦1 billion across consecutive years is the result of belief in the talent, operational discipline, and close collaboration
across production and distribution. Oversabi Aunty is a strong validation of
that approach.”
As Nollywood’s theatrical market continues to mature, Oversabi Aunty
stands as a compelling case study in how integrated operations, long-term
creative partnerships, and audience alignment can drive accelerated box
office growth over time. The film’s performance further reinforces FilmOne’s
position as a fully integrated entertainment company delivering commercial
consistency, scale, and durability across years, not just releases.
