Superman Tops Nigerian Box Office with ₦374.9M in Two Weeks

The latest Superman blockbuster held onto the top spot at Nigerian cinemas over the past weekend, pulling in ₦263 million during its second week of release.

This sustained performance underscores the film’s strong appeal among local audiences and marks a rare instance of a Hollywood title maintaining such momentum beyond its opening weekend.

In its debut week, Superman earned ₦111.9 million, setting a robust foundation that helped propel it through the following days.

Such figures reflect both steady ticket sales nationwide and the growing willingness of Nigerian viewers to return to cinemas for big‑budget franchise films.

Film One Entertainment, the movie’s distributor in Nigeria, confirmed these results via an Instagram announcement, emphasising the importance of local promotion and distribution networks in driving box office success.

Their strategic marketing efforts, including targeted social media campaigns and partnerships with cinema chains, have clearly paid off.

At its core, the film explores Superman’s moral dilemmas and the global fallout from his choices, with Lex Luthor seizing every opportunity to challenge him.

The combination of high‑octane action sequences, star power (led by David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan and Nicolas Hoult) and a thought‑provoking narrative has resonated deeply with Nigerian moviegoers.
