Nollywood actress and producer Mercy Aigbe’s film Thin Line has earned ₦28.5 million at the box office since its release on December 13, 2024.
This December, Thinline will face fierce competition from other high-budget holiday films, such as those directed by Ghanaian filmmaker Peter Sedufia, Funke Akindele, Toyin Abraham, and Ayo “AY” Makun. But since December is a busy month for the industry, Thinline has already made a name for itself as a compelling option for viewers seeking a gripping drama during the holiday season.
Distributed by Cinemax, Thin Line 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, Thin Line is directed by Akay Mason. Before its nationwide release, Thinline already raked in N3.5 million from advanced screenings.
Mercy Aigbe has established herself as a powerhouse in the Nigerian film industry. In 2016, she took a significant step towards nurturing new talent by founding the Mercy Aigbe Gentry School of Drama. Renowned for her versatility and commanding presence, Aigbe has starred in and produced countless films, earning her a reputation as one of Nollywood’s most influential actresses.
The influence of Aigbe is still expanding. She caused quite a stir this year with two successful films: Beast of Two Worlds, which made over N200 million after its theatrical run, and Farmer’s Bride, which brought in over N100 million.
