Nollywood filmmaker Funke Akindele has announced that her new movie, The Four: No One Fights Alone, will premiere at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London, in what is reported to be the first time a Nollywood film will be screened at the venue.
Akindele made the announcement in a post on her social media pages on Monday. The UK premiere is scheduled for November 29, 2026, and is being organised by her company, Funke Akindele Network, in partnership with FilmOne Entertainment.
“LONDON, WE’RE COMING! History is about to be made,” the actress wrote, as she announced the premiere.
The cinema, which has 791 seats, is described as one of the largest auditoriums in the British capital. The film will later open in Nigerian cinemas on December 11, 2026.
Reacting to the development, Akindele said she was humbled by the feat and thanked God, her cast, her crew and her fans for their support. “I’m humbled and so grateful to God for this feat,” she said.
She also encouraged young and aspiring filmmakers not to give up on their dreams, saying she hoped her work would open more doors for other Nigerians to tell their own stories on the global stage.
Fellow entertainers, including Mo Bimpe and Enioluwa, were among those who congratulated her in the comments section.
Akindele has built a strong record at the box office in recent years. Her last two films, Everybody Loves Jenifa and Behind The Scenes, both held UK premieres at Odeon cinemas in December.
The Four is her latest big-budget release for the December season, and it is expected to draw another strong run in cinemas in Nigeria and abroad.
