Gone are the days when only foreign movies dominated Nigerian movie theatres.

Today, Nigerian movies hold their own next to their Hollywood and Bollywood counterparts and even have bigger opening weekends in many instances.

For instance, comedian Ay’s ‘10 Days in Sun City’ was number one at the box office after its release.

In its opening week at the Nigerian cinemas, the film displaced Hollywood hits like ‘Wonder Woman’ and the fifth installment of ‘Transformers’.

Two years after, 10 Days in Sun City and several other Nollywood films continue to top online subscription video site, Showmax.

But with so many Nollywood cinema releases, there’s always the tendency to miss out on some.

If this is the case for you, or perhaps you’d just like to re-watch them, here are six big box office releases worth seeing this festive season

93 Days

The movie tells the story of the deadly Ebola outbreak in Nigeria and the heroic efforts by health workers to stop the spread of the virus.

Who’s In It? Ramsey Nouah, Omoni Oboli, Jemima Osunde, Ngozi Nwosu and Rachel Oniga.

Okafor’s Law

Okafor’s Law, is based on the infamous Okafor’s ‘law’ which says that once a man has slept with a woman, he can do so at any other time regardless of changes in circumstances.

So, three friends or three ‘Chukses’, Chuks a.k.a Terminator (Blossom Chukwujekwu), Chuks a.k.a Fox (Ken Erics) and Chuks a.k.a Baptist (Gabriel Afolayan) proceed to test the veracity of Okafor’s ‘law’.

Omoni Oboli's 'Okafor's Law' remains a hit.
Omoni Oboli’s ‘Okafor’s Law’ remains a hit.

Expectedly, Chuks ‘the Terminator’ is the one pushing this theory.

He enters into a bet, which includes losing shares in his family’s company, with the other two Chuks. He’s that confident that in 21 days he can have sex with three of his exes: Ejiro (Omoni Oboli), Tomi (Toyin Aimakhu), and Ify (Ufuoma McDermott). Not even the fact that his friends will choose which exes can deter him.

Who’s in it? Omoni Oboli, Toyin Abraham, Ufuoma McDermott, Gabriel Afolayan and Blossom Chukwujekwu.
