Nollywood’s energy-packed blockbuster Gingerrr has cemented its place in history, officially becoming the highest-grossing Nigerian film of 2025 and securing the 8th spot on the all-time list of highest-grossing Nollywood releases.
The vibrant comedy-drama, celebrated for its bold storytelling and star-studded cast, has captured hearts across the country, filling cinemas week after week since its debut. Its success marks another milestone for a film led entirely by women — from concept to execution — a rarity in the male-dominated world of African cinema.
At the core of Gingerrr’s success are its four powerhouse executive producers: Bukunmi Adeaga-Ilori (Kiekie), Bolaji Ogunmola, Bisola Aiyeola, and Wumi Toriola — each bringing unique creative force and charisma to the project. The film’s strong performance reflects the growing appetite for dynamic, authentic, and unapologetically Nigerian stories that blend humor, culture, and emotion.
Following the announcement of the box office record, the producers took to social media to share their gratitude and excitement.
Kiekie, who has become one of Nollywood’s fastest-rising creative entrepreneurs, wrote:
“Ladies and gentlemen, the moment has finally arrived! The biggest news of my year! This girl with mad, mad dreams now has the highest-grossing Nollywood film of 2025! We’re now sitting at #8 on the all-time list. Ah, Oluwabukunmi! Look at the woman you’ve become! Who says dreams aren’t valid? With God, all things are possible!”
Her post, which quickly went viral, was flooded with congratulations from fans, industry colleagues, and top Nollywood figures who praised her relentless drive and innovative storytelling style.
Co-producers Bisola Aiyeola, Bolaji Ogunmola, and Wumi Toriola also expressed heartfelt appreciation to audiences nationwide for their unwavering support, describing the film’s success as “a collective victory for Nigerian women in film and entertainment.”
Industry watchers note that Gingerrr’s record-setting run is a reflection of Nollywood’s evolution — where marketing savvy, relatable storytelling, and digital buzz now play as much of a role in success as the traditional cinema model.
With Gingerrr now breaking ceilings and setting new benchmarks, fans and critics alike are already wondering what the team will do next. But one thing is certain — the Gingerrr crew isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
As Kiekie put it best, “We’re not stopping anytime soon. Eyes on the goal.”
