Gingerrr has already marked its place amongst the Top 10 highest-grossing Nollywood films of all time, and is poised to get even higher.

Yemi Morafa’s Gingerrr is closing in on one of the biggest milestones a Nollywood film can reach at the Nigerian box office: the half-a-billion-naira mark.

 

According to box office data from the Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria(CEAN), the heist thriller earned ₦34 million in its seventh week, strong enough to retain the No. 2 spot on the domestic chart.

 

This figure includes a ₦23 million seventh-weekend haul, a modest 30% dip from the ₦33 million posted the previous weekend—alongside weekday takings that averaged ₦2.9 million.

 

These earnings push the film’s cumulative total to ₦479 million, placing it within reach of the ₦500 million benchmark.

 

Gingerrr has already set multiple records: it is the highest-grossing Nollywood film of 2025,, the eighth highest-grossing Nollywood film of all time, and the biggest non-yuletide debut in Nigerian box office history. Its yet-to-be-released eighth-weekend numbers are expected to strengthen its standing even further.

 

The film follows four women who team up to execute a heist, an act they see as their only escape from lives they are desperate to leave behind. The cast includes Shaffy Bello, Uzor Arukwe, and Bukunmi Adeaga-Ilori (popularly known as Kiekie), who also serves as producer
