Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has recorded another major box office milestone as his latest feature, Love and New Notes, emerges as the highest-grossing film of 2026 in West Africa, grossing N328 million within weeks of release.
Distributed by FilmOne Entertainment, the romantic drama has sustained strong cinema attendance across Nigeria and Ghana, reflecting continued audience demand for locally produced theatrical content.
The film’s performance places it among the top-tier Nollywood releases in recent years and reinforces the growing commercial viability of mid-to-high budget productions.
The film opened strongly at the domestic box office, earning approximately N106.5 million within its opening weekend, including an opening-day gross of over N100 million.
Egbuson’s consistent box office traction aligns with a broader shift within the industry, where star power, strategic distribution, and targeted marketing increasingly determine theatrical success.
The project, co-produced by FilmOne Studios and distributed in collaboration with FilmTribe Media, secured wide cinema placement across key urban markets. Screenings were held in major locations including Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, and Accra, ensuring strong regional penetration and access to diverse audiences.
With its current performance and continued screenings, Love and New Notes is expected to maintain momentum in the coming weeks. Its success reinforces Nollywood’s ongoing evolution into a more structured, commercially driven industry capable of delivering consistent box office returns both domestically and across regional markets.
