Malaika: ₦28.5M (-27%)
“Malaika” remains a compelling choice for cinema-goers, with a box office gross of ₦28.5M. The 27% decrease in earnings this week doesn’t diminish the film’s impact, as it continues to draw audiences with its captivating storyline and stellar performances.
Ada Omo Daddy: ₦16.7M (-22%)
“Ada Omo Daddy” rounds up the top four, exhibiting resilience in the face of a competitive box office. With a gross of ₦16.7M and a 22% decline in earnings, the movie proves that it has a place in the hearts of Nigerian movie enthusiasts.
