The movie has gotten off to a good start, selling over N40 million worth of movie tickets in its first 3 days of its regional release. These figures exclude advance and private screenings.
Chief Daddy is currently the number one film in Nigeria and West Africa and takes the spot for the second-highest opening weekend for a Nollywood film in 2018 after The Wedding Party 2, and the third-highest-ever opening weekend for a Nollywood film.
The N42.6 million debut has Chief Daddy officially surpassing The Wedding Party, Nigeria’s highest grossing movie, which had a N36 million opening weekend.
