Nollywood family drama “Ajosepo: The Gathering” debuted in cinemas with a total gross of N49.1 million, securing the second spot on the Nigerian box office chart for the weekend of May 29 to 31, 2026.

The film grossed N41.3 million in its opening weekend, according to Nigerian box office tracking data, placing it second behind “Call of My Life,” which topped the chart with N88.6 million for the weekend and has accumulated N396.1 million after three weeks in cinemas.

“Ajosepo: The Gathering,” directed by Kayode Kasum, stars an ensemble cast featuring Bolaji Ogunmola, Mercy Aigbe, Mike Afolarin, Timini Egbuson, Tomike Adeoye and Toyin Abraham. Running for 1 hour 50 minutes, the film blends comedy and drama around a wedding-themed family conflict.

Despite a strong debut, “Ajosepo: The Gathering” faces stiff competition from several long-running titles still dominating the Nigerian box office.

“Michael” remains a standout performer, earning N33.2 million for the weekend and pushing its cumulative total to N691.6 million after six weeks in cinemas, while “Mortal Kombat 2” added N15.1 million to bring its four-week total to N200.9 million.

Michael continues its strong run, while Mortal Kombat 2 maintains steady momentum in its fourth week.

Other titles rounding out the top 10 include The Boy Who Gave, Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu, Efunroye, Okanjuwa, Passenger, and Jayeola Monje: The Anniversary, each recording modest weekly earnings across multiple screens.

Produced by Bolaji Ogunmola alongside Feyifunmi Oginni and Barbara Babarinsa, “Ajosepo” is part of a growing wave of ensemble-driven Nollywood productions aimed at both domestic and diaspora audiences through theatrical releases.
