The results are in for Nollywood box office hits in 2016. And while they may be surprising to some, lovers of Nollywood must have seen it coming.
According to numbers released to TNS by Film One Distribution, Iretiola Doyle has emerged the most bankable actress in Nollywood in the past year.
The reason is quite obvious. Let’s break it down for you.
In 2016, the actress appeared in three out of the 15 films that topped the box office.
Those films include The Wedding Party, which grossed in N203m, Dinner, which grossed in N22m and The Arbitration, which grossed in N17m.
And even though actress, Adesua Etomi also appeared in two out of the aforementioned movies, Doyle’s appearance in Dinner, a movie that grossed in N22m cemented her place as the most bankable Actress.
Adesua Etomi features in Couple of Days, a movie that did N17m at the box office and which is her third on the top 15 highest selling movies of 2016.
She also features in The Wedding Party and The Arbitration, playing the lead in both.
However, Iretiola Doyle’s appearance in three movies with a grand box office total of N242m places her above Adesua Etomi’s total of N240m.
Doyle also features in The Grudge, a movie that didn’t make it to the top 15.
