Nollywood is currently in its prime era. The screenwriting is tighter, the cinematography is meeting international standards and the cinema lineup over the past few weeks has been pure back-to-back hits. If you've been stuck in the "what should we watch?" loop, we've got you covered! Here is your ultimate guide to what's currently showing on the big screen and what you need to mark on your calendar.
Whether you're in the mood for heavy historical drama, street thrillers or high action, the cinemas have been stacked over the last month. Here are the titles everyone's talking about.
A Land Apart
This movie is a deeply emotional, beautifully shot narrative exploring heritage, migration and personal identity. If you want a film that makes you feel things and leaves the hall in dead silence before a standing ovation, this is the one.
Agbara Nla: The Return
The nostalgia hits hard with this one! Taking inspiration from classic spiritual drama tropes and modernising them for 2026, this film has had audiences on the edge of their seats. The tension is real and the visuals take it to a whole new level.
Onibọn Òjé
Gritty, fast-paced and wildly entertaining, this crime drama dives deep into street dynamics with dialogue so sharp you'll be quoting lines on Insta and Twitter for weeks.
Black Market
A few weeks ago, Lagos saw an attempt to break a Guinness world record with this movie! If you missed the 50,000-person screening, you might want to head to the nearest cinema ASAP. This heart-racing thriller exposes high-stakes underground hustles. The plot twists hit fast, making it the ultimate popcorn flick for a Friday night out with friends.

This is the rom-com/drama fusion we didn't know we needed. The chemistry between the leads is magical, bringing modern Gen Z relationship drama and banter to life.
