The Wedding Party Gross Over Two hundred Million Naira

The Wedding Party, a 2016 Nigerian romantic comedy drama film, directed by Kemi Adetiba that premiered on 8 September 2016 at TIFF Toronto and on 26 November 2016 at Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos and started showing on cinemas in Nigeria from 16 December 2016, has grossed over Two Hundred Million Naira after just sixteen days of showing in the cinemas against a Sixty Million budget.

The Wedding Party has over thrown AY Makun's A Trip to Jamaica, which previously held the record for the highest grossing movie in Nigeria with a record One Hundred and Sixty Million plus.

The Wedding party follows the shenanigans that go on during the planning of a wedding in Nigeria. Dunni a 24 year old art gallery owner and only daughter of her parents, Engineer Bamidele and Mrs Tinuade Coker, is about to marry the love of her life, IT entrepreneur Dozie the handsome son of Felix and Obianuju Onwuka. The couple took a vow of chastity and are looking forward to a ground -breaking first night together as a married couple. Between matchmaking attempts on the bridal train, a wedding planner on a mission to succeed, the unruly behaviour of some ‘village’ guests much to Tinuade’s horror, Dunni's uncertainty about her new husband's faithfulness during the time of their courtship, amidst colourful aso-ebi, eclectic music, small chops, and souvenir drama, we begin to wonder whether Dunni and Dozie will get through their wedding reception unscathed.

Directed by Kemi Adetiba, Produced by Don Omope and Ijeoma Agukoronye

The wedding Party is still showing in cinemas. I guess the Guinness Book of Records will have to withdraw the Accolade bestowed on A Trip to Jamaica.
