Funke Akindele elated as ‘Battle on Buka Street’ grosses over N668 million

Since its debut on December 16, 2022, the comedy-drama film Battle on Buka Street has broken numerous records both nationally and internationally.

‘Battle on Buka Street’ shattered benchmarks as last year’s highest-grossing movie in theaters across the country.

The movie jointly produced as a collaboration between Funke Ayotunde Akindele Network (FAAN) and FilmOne Entertainment, tells the story of two women who, after a lifetime of antagonism, started food enterprises on the same street and find themselves at odds once more.

To compete for the coveted title of “King of Buka Street,” which is awarded to the greatest local food vendor in the area, these two women battle it out in a food challenge.

Speaking about the movie’s phenomenal box office performance, a verified Twitter account @the49thstreet reported it has made N668,423,056.

Akindele reacted by reposting the same on her Instagram page, expressing where she expressed her absolute happiness with gratitude to God over the progress of the movie.

The 45-year-old ‘Jenifa Diary’ maker also noted ‘Battle on Buka Street’ would be available on Prime Video on June 16, 2023.

She wrote: “GOD DID!!!! #battleonbukastreet will be on prime video on the 16th of June!!”
