Nollywood actress and producer Mercy Aigbe’s Thin Line has grossed ₦28.5 million at the box office since its release on December 13, 2024.
Thinline is up against tough competition this December from other high-budget holiday films, including projects from Funke Akindele, Toyin Abraham, Ayo “AY” Makun, and Ghanaian director Peter Sedufia. However, with December being a prime month for the industry, Thinline has already established itself as a strong contender for audiences looking for an engaging drama this festive season.
Distributed by Cinemax, the film is a compelling drama that delves into themes of faith, betrayal, and redemption, drawing audiences in with its intense narrative.
Starring Uzo Arukwe, Jaiye Kuti, Cute Abiola, Yvonne Jegede, and others, the film is directed by Akay Mason. Before its nationwide release, Thinline already raked in N3.5 million from advanced screenings.
