Just
a week after the release of the “Th Return of Jenifa” around the
country,is a feat which has never been achieved by any other Nollywood
movie and this has earned the movie the title of ‘the fastest grossing
Nollywood movie of all time’ by the cinema operators. And this feat is more
remarkable as the movie is only showing in three cinemas, Silverbird
Lagos and Abuja and Ozone Cinema in Yaba, Lagos.
Earning
such a feat would come as no surprise as Funke has been known to have lite out some blockbusters movies in DVD; movies like Jenifa and Omo
Ghetto were said to have sold in their numbers.
This
impressive show has made the movie earn close to N10 million
in seven days which has made the cinema asked for two weeks extension to show
the movie at the cinema. That means the movie will be at the cinema
for four weeks.
And
its grand premier at The Muson Center on Friday, October 7, the
movie has been earned applause and respect of industry people who
trooped out in their numbers to support the actress at the premiere
which had the First Lady of Lagos in attendance. Others in attendance
are, Eldee, Dayo Adeneye, Rita Dominic, Kate Henshaw, Oge Okoye, Ali
Baba, Gbenga Adeyinka, AY, Julius Agwu, Tunde Kelani, Ireti Osayemi,
Ibinabo Fiberesima, Chioma Chukwuka, Helen Paul, Queen Nwokoye, Adora
Ukoh, Kunle Bakare, Mayor Akinpelu and others.
This
Return of Jenifa was being shot both the country and outside the country
features an impressive cast which parades both music and movie stars
such as Eldee the Don, Banky W, Denrele, Antar Laniyan, Helen Paul and
others.
She
is later forced to withdraw from the society that she once ruled and
move back to her village. Going back to the village however does not
stop her from being her crazy self and in the end she learns that life
is not all about being a ‘gbogbo bigs girl’
