Following the box office record of ‘The Wedding Party’ which
made N35million in its opening weekend, a comedy film sequel by notable actress
Toyin Aimakhu, ‘Alakada Reloaded’ is said to have sold tickets to the tune of
N25 million in the first three days, and a total of N50 million in its first
week.
“I am Super Grateful”, said the actress who recently changed
her surname to Abraham.
Alakada Reloaded became one of the top grossing movies in
2017 after grossing 25 million naira in its first three days.
Speaking further on the success of the movie, the Edo
State-born actress said “God has been so good to me, and my fans have been so
wonderful. I am extremely happy. We worked really hard on this movie. I’m glad
the hard work is paying off. I was
expecting something like this but not this big. 25 million naira in three days
is huge.”
According to the actress, “We have made 50 million naira now
and it has only been a week since the movie was released to the cinemas. The
rate at which we are selling out is mind blowing, even in non-Yoruba speaking
states. I have been visiting different cinemas, along with other cast members
and many other celebrities and people in large numbers have been storming the
cinema to see the movie. It’s honestly humbling and I feel so loved and
accepted. I am super grateful for this success and for the kind of fans I have.
I just want this to continue as long as the movie remains in cinema.”
The movie, which is still showing in cinemas, parades an
ensemble of cast from the English and Yoruba film sectors, as well as comedians
and music artistes. They include Ali Baba, Odunlade Adekola, Kehinde Bankole,
Woli Arole, Nedu OAP, Helen Paul, Lilian Esoro, Annie Idibia, Bidemi Kosoko,
Liz Da Silva, Lala Akindoju, Mr Latin, Iyabo Ojo, Gabriel Afolayan and Toyin
Abraham.
