Nigerian filmmaker and actress Funke Akindele, in collaboration with FilmOne Entertainment, has announced the United Kingdom premiere of her upcoming movie, THE FOUR, scheduled for November 29, 2026, at the iconic ODEON Luxe Leicester Square in London.
The announcement marks another significant moment for the Nigerian film industry, with the organisers describing the event as the first time a Nollywood title will premiere at the prestigious cinema location.
The ODEON Luxe Leicester Square is one of London’s prominent cinema venues and has hosted major international film premieres attended by filmmakers, actors, industry executives and entertainment personalities.
The choice of venue for THE FOUR highlights the growing international ambitions of Nollywood filmmakers and the industry’s efforts to expand its presence in established global entertainment markets.
Akindele, one of Nigeria’s most commercially successful filmmakers and actresses, has continued to contribute to the growth of the country’s film industry through her acting, directing and production projects.
FilmOne Entertainment, a major distributor and cinema operator in Nigeria, has also played an important role in taking Nigerian productions to wider audiences through theatrical releases and international distribution partnerships.
The London premiere is expected to bring together members of the Nigerian and international entertainment industries, alongside invited guests and members of the African diaspora.
The development further highlights Nollywood’s growing international visibility and the increasing efforts by Nigerian filmmakers to position locally produced films on prestigious global platforms.
With THE FOUR scheduled to premiere in London on November 29, attention will be on the film’s reception and the opportunities the event could create for further international exposure for Nigerian cinema.
