Agbara Nla hits N354.5m, leads Nigerian box office

Nollywood faith-based film Agbara Nla has grossed ₦354.5 million at the Nigerian box office since its release on October 1, according to its distributor, Nile Entertainment. The film, a remake of the 33-year-old Christian classic from Mount Zion, also recorded an opening weekend gross of $120,660 in selected cinemas in the United Kingdom and Canada.

The success of Agbara Nla can be attributed to a nostalgia-led campaign targeting both audiences familiar with the original and a new generation of viewers, which included engagement with the Mount Zion community, endorsements from church leaders, and online activations.
