Veteran filmmaker Muyiwa Ademola has done it again — and this time, he’s carved his name even deeper into Nollywood history. His critically acclaimed film, Ori: Rebirth, has officially grossed over ₦410 million, making it the 8th highest-grossing Nigerian film of all time in cinemas.
This isn’t just a milestone — it’s a monumental return to the box office for a director and actor whose original Ori movie became a cultural phenomenon in the early 2000s. Ori: Rebirth proves that greatness is timeless and that when Muyiwa Ademola tells a story, audiences show up — and stay talking.
What makes Ori: Rebirth exceptional isn’t just the box office numbers, but the overwhelmingly positive reviews. The film has been hailed as a masterpiece of purpose-driven cinema — combining spiritual depth, compelling drama, and an unforgettable message. It’s the kind of film that moves hearts, sparks reflection, and reminds us of Nollywood’s capacity for excellence.
With limited social media buzz at the start, the film’s success has been almost entirely organic — built through word-of-mouth, critical acclaim, and audience loyalty. From Lagos to Ibadan and across Nigerian cinemas, Ori: Rebirth continues to sell out showings and draw applause.
As it maintains its position in cinemas nationwide, Ori: Rebirth isn’t just breaking records — it’s raising standards. Muyiwa Ademola didn’t just return. He rebirthed the cinema experience.
