21 Of The Highest Grossing Nigerian Movies Of All Time.

Making movies is good business.

Films generate income from several streams, including theatrical exhibition, home video, television broadcast rights & merchandising. However, theatrical box office earnings are the primary metric for trade publications in assessing the success of a film, mostly because of the availability of the data compared to sales figures for home video and broadcast rights, but also because of historical practice.

According to Wikipedia, here are 21 of the highest grossing Nollywood movies of all time. Revenues from special screenings, DVD sales, online streaming and theatrical screenings outside Nigeria are excluded from this gross total. Films before the 2000s are also excluded from this list as their gross totals have not been inflation adjusted.
