Funke Akindele’s ‘The Four’ Sells Out 791-seat London Auditorium in Two Days

Funke Akindele’s upcoming film, *The Four: No One Fights Alone*, has sold out its London premiere in just two days, according to a promotional flyer shared ahead of the screening. 

 

The flyer says all 791 seats at the venue, billed as the largest auditorium in the United Kingdom, have been fully booked.

 

The premiere is set for November 29, 2026, at ODEON Luxe Leicester Square, one of the most prestigious cinemas in the world and a regular host of major global premieres. Funke Akindele Network and FilmOne Entertainment organised the event.

 

Akindele has described it as a first for Nollywood: no Nigerian film has premiered at the venue before.

 

The sell-out adds to Akindele’s record of drawing strong crowds in the UK. Her earlier titles, including *Everybody Loves Jenifa* and *Behind The Scenes*, also sold out multiple screens ahead of their London premieres, making her one of the Nigerian filmmakers most reliably able to fill UK cinemas.

 

*The Four: No One Fights Alone* features Akindele alongside Waje, Chioma Akpotha, Bisola Aiyeola, Richard Mofe-Damijo, Lateef Adedimeji, Timini Egbuson and Uzor Arukwe, among others. Akindele, Waje and Shoday recently stepped out in London in coordinated buba and iro outfits to announce the screening.

 

Social media platform Facebook has partnered with Akindele to support the film’s London premiere and its homecoming premiere in Lagos, with plans to bring together creators, celebrities and audiences around both events.

 

The film opens in cinemas worldwide on December 11, 2026.
