Co-produced by FilmOne Studios and distributed by FilmOne Entertainment, Reel Love had a spectacular launch:

- Over N200M in 10 days, making it the first Nollywood release in 2025 to cross that mark
Although it played second fiddle to Captain America during its opening weekend (which earned N121.7M), Reel Love dominated the Nollywood box office for three straight weekends, cementing its blockbuster status with a total of N223.7M by week three.
