“Everybody Loves Jenifa” Sells Out Ahead of UK Premiere
The highly anticipated movie Everybody Loves Jenifa has taken the international film scene by storm, selling out ahead of its UK premiere on December 20, 2024. This remarkable achievement was confirmed by the film’s international distributor, Nile Media Entertainment, in an enthusiastic Instagram post.
“Yayyyyy, Everybody Loves Jenifa December 20th UK premiere is SOLD OUT. Congratulations @funkejenifaakindele, congratulations Jenifans. But, more screens have been added,” the post read, celebrating the overwhelming demand for the film.
Expanding Reach Across Six Continents
Earlier this week, Nile Media announced that it had secured theatrical distribution rights for the movie across six continents, marking a major milestone for the franchise. FilmOne Entertainment, however, retains its local distribution rights, ensuring the movie reaches its dedicated Nigerian audience.
The global appeal of Everybody Loves Jenifa was further bolstered by Nile Media’s innovative ‘Atlas by Reach’ voucher system. Originally launched with Omoni Oboli’s The Uprising: Wives on Strike 3, the system allowed fans to pre-purchase vouchers ahead of the film’s premiere. This strategy not only heightened anticipation but also ensured wider accessibility for international audiences.
A Nostalgic and Thrilling Experience
Set to hit Nigerian cinemas on December 13, Everybody Loves Jenifa promises a delightful blend of humour, nostalgia, and captivating storytelling. Building upon the franchise’s beloved narrative, the comedy-drama is expected to resonate deeply with fans, offering a fresh yet familiar experience.
The film follows the success of Funke Akindele’s previous blockbuster, A Tribe Called Judah, which broke box office records in Nigeria. With Everybody Loves Jenifa, Akindele aims to solidify her status as one of the industry’s most influential filmmakers.
Star-Studded Cast
Fans can look forward to the return of iconic characters played by Falz, Omotunde ‘Lolo’ Adebowale-David, and Olayode Juliana. Additionally, the film introduces an exciting mix of new talent, including Chimezie Imo, Layi Wasabi, Bisola Aiyeola, Jackie Appiah, and Omowunmi Dada.
Anticipation Builds
With more screens added to accommodate the demand, Everybody Loves Jenifa is shaping up to be a global cinematic event. As audiences prepare for the film’s release, its success highlights the growing international recognition of Nigerian cinema and the universal appeal of its stories.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of the franchise or new to the world of Jenifa, this movie promises to deliver a heartwarming and hilarious journey you won’t want to miss.
