Jade Osiberu’s debut film-ISOKEN was released in 15 selected UK Cinemas from May 26–and even for that activity packed bank holiday weekend, the movie received over 15,000 dollars in direct ticket sales per UK’s official box office mojo records for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The box office sales is said to be a record-breaking achievement as it beats any African romantic comedy which has over the years been released in UK Cinemas–despite the weekend hosting several Nigerian events in the UK which obviously affected ticket sales.

Director-Jade Osiberu’s first film, ISOKEN was premiered on Wednesday, 24th May 2017 at London’s Leicester Square–ahead of tomorrow’s cinema release across the UK.

The premiere was attended by Director-Jade Osiberu and actors-Dakore Akande, Marc Rhys, Funke Akindele and other cast members.
