FilmOne Secures Global Rights to Funke Akindele’s “Behind the Scenes”
Nigeria’s leading film distribution company, FilmOne Entertainment, has secured the exclusive global distribution rights to Nollywood filmmaker Funke Akindele’s upcoming feature, Behind the Scenes.
The deal follows Akindele’s record-breaking N3.3 billion combined box office success and reinforces FilmOne’s dominance as a driving force behind some of Nigeria’s highest-grossing films.
Scheduled for nationwide release on December 12, Behind the Scenes marks another major collaboration between FilmOne and Akindele, promising a blend of humour, emotion, and relatable storytelling — hallmarks of her previous blockbusters.
The film was among the highlights of the 2025 FilmOne Exhibitors’ Showcase, where the company unveiled an exciting slate of Nollywood titles including The Herd, 3 Cold Dishes, Colors of Fire, Oversabi Aunty, and War Lord. The showcase also celebrated FilmOne’s growing partnerships with global studios such as Disney, Sony, and Warner Bros.
FilmOne’s co-founders emphasised the company’s mission to scale Nigerian storytelling for international audiences through strategic collaborations and innovation.
In addition, FilmOne announced a renewed partnership with actress and producer Toyin Abraham for her upcoming December releases, following the commercial success of Iyalode, which grossed over N300 million.
With these partnerships, FilmOne continues to expand its influence as West Africa’s foremost entertainment powerhouse, bridging local creativity with global distribution.
