Iyabo Ojo’s Labake Olododo smashes Box Office with N172.5M

Iyabo Ojo’s epic drama Labake Olododo is making waves at the Nigerian box office, pulling in an impressive N172.5 million just two weeks after its nationwide debut.

The film, which premiered on March 28, opened with a strong N50.4 million in its first weekend, earning the title of the second-biggest Nollywood debut of 2025. These numbers, shared by West African distribution giant FilmOne Group, reflect the film’s instant popularity with audiences.

Labake Olododo adds to the growing success of female-driven films in Nollywood. Recent releases with women in lead roles or behind the camera have found both box office success and critical acclaim.

Eniola Ajao’s Ajakaju: Beasts of Two Worlds broke records in 2024, crossing the N200 million mark, while Wumi Toriola’s Queen Lateefah stunned the industry with a massive N350 million haul.

With a compelling storyline steeped in tradition and power, and Iyabo Ojo’s star power front and center, Labake Olododo is shaping up to be one of 2025’s most memorable Nollywood hits.
