By Oluwarantimi Oludase 

Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Funke Akindele, is still standing strong with her record-breaking movie 'Behind The Scenes' as it continues to accrue several records.

The movie which has passed the 2Billion mark, is now on N2.57Billion, which positions it on its way to crossing the N3Billion mark.

Celebrating the filmmaker for the impressive milestone, the film's distributor, FilmoneNg on Instagram, appreciated West Africa for the support.

The distribution company shared that beyond the new number, 'Behind The Scenes' still stands tall as the number 1 Nollywood movies, and also the biggest title in history, in addition to staying at the top of the box-office for eight consecutive weekends.

Crediting the audience for the movie's record, FilmoneNg stated "this moment is bigger than a film," and an evidence of the propelling of the movie industry.

The post read:
"West Africa... you really did something special with this one.

N2.57 BILLION at the box office and still No. 1 a record run and the biggest title we've ever seen. Eight straight weekends at the top, powered by pure love from the audience.

This moment is bigger than a film. It's about our stories travelling further, our industry growing louder, and you showing up again and again to make history with us. Every ticket, every rewatch, every shout-out carried us here.
