Record breaking Nollywood movie 'Behind The Scenes' has finally exited cinemas after an impressive run on the big screen.

The movie produced by Funke Akindele amassed several records in cinemas beyond Nigeria, as it holds the record for Nollywood's biggest ever release in North America with $249k, and also the record for the highest grossing Nollywood release in Ireland with £159k.

In a joint post on Instagram, the film's distributor FilmoneNg described the movie's run as "a defining moment for African cinema."

The distribution company emphasized the importance of the movie's unprecedented milestone, mentioning the high numbers it grossed, thereby making it the highest grossing Nollywood titles in the United Kingdom, Ireland, United States, and Canada.

According to FilmoneNg, Funke Akindele's movie run is an evidence of the importance of telling African stories, which appeals to a wider and global audience, and in the same vein puts the nation on the global map.

The post read:
"A record-breaking run.
A defining moment for African cinema.
₦2.7 Billion at the box office and a historic milestone that now stands as the highest-grossing Nollywood title of all time.

But the story did not stop there. From West Africa to audiences across the world, the film also became the highest-grossing Nollywood title in the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States, and Canada.

Moments like this remind us of the extraordinary power of our stories. Stories rooted in our culture, our humour, our struggles, and our triumphs. When these stories find their audience, something remarkable happens.

This achievement is not just a win for one film, but a powerful reminder of how far Nollywood has come and the limitless possibilities ahead for African cinema.

To everyone who bought a ticket, told a friend, laughed, cried, and celebrated this journey with us, thank you for showing up and making history with us."
