Disney’s live-action remake, Snow White, took the number one spot at the Nigerian box office over the weekend, earning ₦17.6 million between March 21 and 23.

The Nigeria Box Office released the figures on Monday via its official X (formerly Twitter) page, showing how new releases and returning titles performed in cinemas across the country.

“Novocaine” followed closely with ₦14 million in its opening weekend. The Nigerian thriller has been attracting attention from moviegoers since its release.

In its sixth week, “Reel Love” pulled in ₦13.3 million, pushing its total earnings to ₦328 million. The romantic drama continues to enjoy strong support in cinemas.

“Marvel’s Captain America: Brave New World” also remained on the chart, earning ₦10.6 million over the weekend and bringing its total to ₦393.2 million.

“In the Lost Lands” added ₦8.1 million in its third week, with its cumulative earnings now at ₦58.2 million.

Another new release, “The Artifact”, debuted with ₦6 million, making it the sixth highest-grossing film of the weekend.

Industry watchers say the weekend numbers show Nigerians are still turning up for both local and international films, even as the cinema space continues to compete with streaming platforms and rising ticket costs.
