FilmOne Entertainment, the film’s distributor, also revealed that the movie had the biggest admissions of 2025 with 34,548.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the film pulls back the curtains on the hidden struggles and emotional cost of success, generosity, and public perception.
In a post shared on its official Instagram page, FilmOne thanked Nigerian movie lovers for their support, declaring Akindele as the queen of the box office.
“We call her the queen of the box office for a reason. Thank you, Nigeria, for showing up, filling cinemas, and spreading the word.
“Behind the Scenes crossed N200m in just one weekend, broke five opening weekend records and became the biggest opening of 2025,” the company wrote.
‘Behind the Scenes’ explores themes of hidden emotional battles, societal pressures, self-care, and the contrast between public perception and private reality.
With its current momentum, the movie is poised to remain a major draw in cinemas nationwide in the coming weeks.
