After
“Wives on Strike” garnered 51 million Naira in 17 days of its cinematic debut
in Nigeria, with views by over 50 000 people across cinema houses in different
states of the federation, it continued to make stupendous waves in the cinemas,
breaking and surpassing all other records in the Nigerian box office history.
Reports emerged from top cinemas like Filmhouse Cinemas, Surulere, Silverbird Cinema, Ikeja City Mall, Genesis Deluxe Cinema, Lekki, and Silverbird Cinema, Abuja,that Wives on Strikekept selling, even with the presence of latest Hollywood releases like “The Barber’s Shop”, “The Huntsman” and “Jungle Book”. Having made such huge achievement in Nigeria, the movie is set to hit Ghana in all its grandeur.
The movie which stars Omoni Oboli, Uche Jombo-Rodriguez, Ufuoma Mcdermoth, Kehinde Bankole, Julius Agwu, Keneth Okonkwo sold 15 million in three days in its first weekend at the cinema, making it the first ever Nollywood movie to do so in the history of box-office records in Nigeria.
Wives on Strike is produced and directed by leading Nollywood figure, Omoni Oboli who in time past had garnered commendations for her two earlier movies, Being Mrs Elliot and The First Lady as executive producer. The two movies made best box office movies of 2014 and 2015 respectively with excellent showing at the cinemas.
However, Wives on Strike has shattered all those earlier success by Omoni’s previous movies,not only that, the movie is shattering records of other movies and setting a new one.
The movie is a hilarious comedy about a group of market women who decided to take matters into their own hands against their husbands in a bid to stir them into standing up for a young girl whom they wanted to protect from the wishes of her own father.
