Earlier in the week Nile announced that it had acquired the movie for theatrical distribution across 6 continents while FilmOne Entertainment retains its rights to distribute the movie locally.

With the voucher system which was launched by Nile Media with Omoni Oboli’s The Uprising: Wives on Strike 3, fans of the upcoming movie were able to purchase vouchers ahead of the movie premiere. This innovative voucher system is called ‘Atlas by Reach.’

Hitting the cinemas nationwide on December 13, the film promises a nostalgic experience filled with humour. The comedy-drama is expected to serve the audience with thrilling nostalgia and build upon the narrative from the previous offerings under the franchise.

This comes after setting a record for the highest box office movie in the Nigerian film industry with her last movie A Tribe Called Judah.

The film is set to see the return of fan favourites like Falz, Omotunde ‘Lolo’ Adebowale-David, and Olayode Juliana, along with new faces such as Chimezie Imo, Layi Wasabi, Bisola Aiyeola, Jackie Appiah, and Omowunmi Dada.
