These are the top Nollywood movies to expect in cinemas

These movies will hit the cinemas in December. While some are yet to release their official trailers, others have begun active promotions. The battle for the most successful box office hit this year is on.

December 2024 promises to be exciting, with the impending release of star-studded Nollywood movies in the cinemas.

In December 2016, The Wedding Party was released. It went on to become the highest grossing box office hit for four years until Funke Akindele’s Omo Ghetto: The Saga overtook it in 2020.

But the blockbuster movie was able to successfully usher in a new era of Nollywood: December star-studded movies.

It has now become normal for Nigerians to anticipate the release of major titles in the cinemas as each year gradually comes to an end. And 2024 is no exception.

As such, these are the titles we’re anticipating eagerly.

Everybody Loves Jenifa

Everybody Loves Jenifa

Funke Akindele’s 2008 hit movie Jenifa has become a franchise. In 2011, the actress and filmmaker reprised her role as Jenifa in the comedy film, The Return of Jenifa.

While the series became a household name, Akindele continued to produce and release other projects.

However, it appears that the award-winning thespian is set to go down memory lane with the impending release of her newest project in December, Everybody Loves Jenifa.

Nigerian disc jockey, Florence Otedola, aka DJ Cuppy, has offered a heartfelt prayer that this year’s Valentine’s Day will be the last she celebrates as an unmarried woman.

Cuppy shared the prayer via her X handle as she wished herself a happy Valentine’s Day.

She wrote, “Happy #ValentinesDay to me! Manifesting that this is my last one unmarried. Lord, do your thing!”

The 32-year-old billionaire heiress has had a rollercoaster love life. She’s been romantically involved with notable figures, including former Super Eagles striker Victor Anichebe, but their relationship ended in 2017 due to long-distance struggles.

She later dated music executive Asa Asika, but their romance hit the wall around 2020. In 2022, she got engaged to British boxer Ryan Taylor, and the couple often shared affectionate moments online. However, by 2023, rumours of a split started circulating, and she later confirmed she was single again.

DJ Cuppy, born on November 11, 1992, has had a successful disc jockey career. In 2014, she was the resident DJ at the MTV Africa Music Awards in Durban.

After then, she played at the Tatler and Christie’s Art Ball in London and at the Financial Times Business of Luxury Summit in Mexico City.

In July 2014, she released House of Cuppy as her first compilation mix in London and Lagos, before launching it in New York on 2 September 2014. With House of Cuppy, she produced EDM-esque remixes of songs by leading afropop artists.
