Nollywood star and box-office heavyweight Toyin Abraham has recorded another major commercial win as her latest film, Oversabi Aunty, pulled in an impressive ₦99.8 million during its opening weekend in Nigerian cinemas.

The strong debut places Oversabi Aunty among the year’s most successful local openings and reinforces Abraham’s reputation as one of Nollywood’s most bankable filmmakers. From its first screenings, the film drew sizeable crowds across major cinema chains, with word-of-mouth and social media buzz driving sustained turnout through the weekend.

Audiences have praised the film’s blend of comedy, social commentary, and familiar Nigerian family dynamics, an approach that has become a hallmark of Toyin Abraham’s recent successes. Her ability to balance mass appeal with relatable storytelling continues to translate into consistent box-office performance.

Industry analysts say the near-₦100 million opening is particularly significant given ongoing economic pressures affecting discretionary spending. The result suggests that strong branding, strategic marketing, and a loyal fanbase can still deliver big numbers for Nollywood releases.

For Abraham, Oversabi Aunty represents more than just another hit; it underscores her growing influence not only as an actress but as a producer who understands audience taste and cinema economics. The opening figures also set high expectations for the film’s full theatrical run, with many projecting that it could cross major revenue milestones in the coming weeks.

As Nollywood continues to scale new commercial heights, Oversabi Aunty’s opening weekend performance stands as further proof that locally made stories when executed with clarity and confidence can compete powerfully in Nigeria’s evolving cinema market.
