Box-office powerhouse Funke Akindele has set a new benchmark for Nollywood theatrical distribution, selling out all 791 seats for the UK premiere of her upcoming film, "The Four", in just two days.
The rapid ticket uptake for the November 29 premiere at the iconic ODEON Luxe Leicester Square in London highlights the immense international demand for Nollywood content on global stages.
The milestone marks the first time a Nigerian film title will premiere at the legendary London venue, utilising its largest auditorium capacity of 791 seats.
Jointly presented by the Funke Akindele Network (FAAN) and FilmOne Entertainment, the historic screening precedes the film's official cinema release across Nigeria on December 11, 2026.
Featuring an ensemble cast including Richard Mofe-Damijo, Chioma Akpotha, Bisola Aiyeola, Waje, Lateef Adedimeji, Timini Egbuson, and Uzor Arukwe, "The Four" continues to build momentum as one of the most anticipated cinematic releases of the holiday season.
