The Nollywood film Oversabi Aunty, produced and directed by actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham, has emerged as the fourth highest-grossing Nollywood film of all time in West Africa after crossing the N700 million mark at the box office.

The film achieved the milestone within 18 days of its cinema release, grossing N711.5 million, according to figures released on January 5, 2026 by its official distributor, FilmOne Entertainment.

In a statement shared on Instagram, FilmOne credited strong audience turnout across the region for the film’s success. “West Africa, you showed up and showed out in an Oversabi way. In just 18 days, Oversabi Aunty grossed N711.5M, making it the 4th highest-grossing Nollywood film of all time in West Africa,” the distributor wrote.
