"Call of My Life" Becomes Nigeria's Top Film of 2026

"Call of My Life" has achieved the status of Nigeria's biggest movie of 2026, grossing over ₦800 million. The romantic comedy, directed by Dammy Twitch in his feature film debut, premiered in cinemas on May 15, 2026.

The film's producers and distributor, FilmOne Entertainment, announced this milestone, expressing gratitude to audiences for their support. The film features a cast including Uzoamaka Power, Andrew Yaw Bunting, Beverly Osu, Nkem Owoh, Patience Ozokwor, Zubby Michael, Broda Shaggi, and Justin UG, and was produced by Blessing Uzzi under Bluehouse Studios.

Notably, it became the first Nollywood film to surpass ₦600 million outside the traditional December release window, eventually exceeding ₦800 million at the West African box office. The film held the number one position at the Nigerian box office for several consecutive weekends, aided by strong word-of-mouth support, demonstrating that Nollywood romance titles can achieve significant audience turnout without a holiday release advantage.
