Labake Olododo, the latest epic film from Nollywood’s renowned star Iyabo Ojo, has made a significant impact at the Nigerian box office, amassing an impressive N172.5 million in just two weeks since its release.

Premiering nationwide on March 28, the movie earned a remarkable N50.4 million during its opening weekend, making it the second-highest Nollywood debut of 2025. These figures, provided by FilmOne Group, one of West Africa’s leading film distribution companies, underscore the film’s immediate popularity with audiences.
