Extending the thrill of a Tribe Called Judah to these African countries is commendable; this will strengthen the bond between the entertainment industries in Africa. That is a smart move by Nollywood power house Funke Akindele and her team.
This weekend, nine French-speaking nations will begin showing the ground-breaking Nollywood film A Tribe Called Judah.
The statement was posted on Instagram today, Wednesday, January 17, 2024, by Film One Entertainment, the designated distributor of the film in Nigeria. The movie will begin showing in 13 regions across nine countries, according to the information that has been made public.
A number of countries are listed, including Bessengue, Yaounde, Godope, Mide, Idrissa Quedraogo, Yennega, M’Pita, Poto Poto, Rebero, Rwanda, Teranga, Senegal, Tombolia, Conakry, Wologuede, Cotonou, Benin, and Mandjiozangue in Gabon.
Starting on Friday, January 19, 2024, Canal Olympia Showtimes Cinemas will be in charge of this distribution.
Produced by the distinguished director Funke Akindele, the picture opened in theaters in December in Nigeria, the nation of origin. After that, it began to be viewed in Ghana and the United Kingdom, for a total of 12 countries at this time.
As of January 14, 2024, A Tribe Called Judah’s local gross has increased to ₦1,296,686,092, according to the Cinemas Exhibitors Association of Nigeria (CEAN). It continues to hold the record for being the highest-grossing Nigerian film ever.
The five brothers—Jide Kene Achufusi as Emeka Judah, Timini Egbuson as Pere Judah, Uzee Usman as Adamu Judah, Tobi Makinde as Shina Judah, and Olumide Oworu as Ejiro Judah—who band together to loot a business in an attempt to save their mother, Jedidah Judah, played by Akindele, are the focus of the theatrical production.
The cast, which is co-directed by Adeoluwa Owu, consists of the following: Boma Akpore, Etinosa Idemudia, Juliana Olayode, Yvonne Jegede, Ebele Okaro, Uzor Arukwe, Nse Ikpe Etim, Genoveva Umeh, Faithia Williams, Nosa Rex, Greg Ojefua, Ibrahim Yekini, and Paschaline Ijeoma Alex.
