The West African box office has a new titan as Toyin Abraham’s latest cinematic offering, Oversabi Aunty, shatters records to become a historic commercial juggernaut.
As of today, January 19, 2026, the film has officially grossed a staggering ₦950,781,820, cementing its status as the fourth-highest-grossing Nollywood film of all time.
Since its nationwide release on December 19, 2025, the movie has maintained an iron grip on the charts. Over the most recent tracking weekend, it remained one of the top two most-watched titles in cinemas, defying the typical “drop-off” seen in month-old releases.
A New Era for Toyin Abraham
The success of Oversabi Aunty marks a personal milestone for Toyin Abraham, officially becoming the highest-grossing project of her career. By crossing the ₦950 million threshold, the film has overtaken previous industry heavyweights such as Funke Akindele’s Battle on Buka Street (₦668M) and Omo Ghetto: The Saga (₦636M) to claim its spot in the all-time Top 4.
The Road to One Billion
Industry analysts are now closely watching the “Billion Naira” mark. If momentum holds through the coming week, Oversabi Aunty is projected to become only the fourth Nollywood film in history to join the elite 1-Billion-Naira club, currently occupied by A Tribe Called Judah, The Legend of Hijabi, and Deity of the Sun.
Cast and Production
Distributed by FilmOne Entertainment, the film features a star-studded ensemble including Mike Ezuruonye, Efe Irele, Enioluwa Adeoluwa, and Jemima Osunde.
The production team released a statement this morning thanking the audience: “You showed up, and the numbers tell the story. We are only able to do this because of you.”
Oversabi Aunty continues to screen in major cinemas across Nigeria, Ghana, and the United Kingdom. Fans can check local showtimes and book tickets via the Filmhouse Cinemas website or the Silverbird Cinemas portal.
