Toyin Abraham Returns to Cinemas With New Nollywood actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham is set to return to Nigerian cinemas with her latest movie, BESTIE, scheduled for a nationwide theatrical release on December 16, 2026.
The upcoming film marks another major cinema outing for Abraham, who has established herself as one of Nigeria’s leading actresses, producers and box-office draws.
Toyin Abraham Eyes Another Box-Office HitThe announcement comes after the impressive performance of Abraham’s last cinema release, Oversabi Aunty, which reportedly crossed the ₦1 billion mark at the Nigerian box office.
The movie’s success further strengthened Abraham’s reputation as one of Nollywood’s leading commercial filmmakers and earned her recognition from the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB).
Earlier in 2026, Abraham had hinted that she was working on another major cinema project scheduled for the festive season.
The announcement came shortly after she revealed that Alábọ̀sí 2 would be her final YouTube movie of 2026.
‘BESTIE’ Set for December Release
With BESTIE scheduled to hit cinemas during the Christmas season, expectations are already high among fans and movie lovers.
December is traditionally one of the busiest periods for Nollywood cinema releases, with filmmakers targeting audiences looking for entertainment during the festive holidays.
Abraham has also built a reputation for releasing crowd-pulling movies during the December cinema window, making BESTIE one of the films expected to attract significant attention this year.
However, details about the movie’s plot, cast and official trailer have yet to be released.
Toyin Abraham Targets Another Billion-Naira Run
Following the success of her previous projects, Abraham will be hoping that BESTIE can deliver another major box-office performance and potentially cross the billion-naira milestone.
The actress is currently regarded as one of Nigeria’s highest-grossing filmmakers, ranking behind fellow filmmaker Funke Akindele in reported box-office earnings.
After wrapping up her 2026 YouTube projects, Abraham had told her fans that “another beautiful chapter is waiting to begin,” while promising bigger and better stories.
That new chapter now appears set to begin on the big screen with BESTIE, as Toyin Abraham prepares for another major December cinema battle.
More details about the movie, including its cast, storyline, trailer and distribution plans, are expected to be announced ahead of its December 16 release.
