Between September 25 and October 1, its preview screenings generated more than ₦70 million, with 12,134 admissions. The reported performance was described as a record-breaking preview gross for West Africa at the time.

The movie then earned ₦170.6 million during its first four days in cinemas, reportedly setting records for a non-December Nollywood opening weekend, an October opening weekend and a faith-based film opening weekend in Nigeria.

Before reaching its latest ₦408.3 million milestone, the film had already crossed ₦307.2 million.
