TOP TEN MOST VISITED & BIGGEST BOX OFFICE CINEMAS IN LAGOS (2024) The south still dominates theatre counts, especially Lagos with about 46 cinemas; with just 12 cinemas in the entire North. Overall, theatres grew last year with new cinemas opening shop in new locations and adding more screens to the local industry. I know at least 5 of the cinemas listed and I'm surprised with the number 10 theatre having more cinema-goers and sales revenue than a particular cinema in Ikeja. π€ https://nairametrics.com/2025/02/01/top-10-most-visited-cinema-locations-in-lagos-2024/

abduleez1:Maybe it's just me but actually surprised people are making a big deal out of this because none of the previous versions have even been that all that good critically and they barely scrap anything at the box office, in fact, the last installment in 2015 or so, was so so bad. Not moved by this trailer and coming out in a "busy summer month" for movies is huge risk but am i might be wrong tho. 2 Likes |

oyaskii: That team is really popular. The first team ever in Marvel, so I think they have some core fans already that are just itching for something good on the big screen. Then factor in that Galactus teaser and you get why there is a lot of buzz. |

abduleez1: Jurassic World Rebirth is the clear winner of July box office. Most of the July movie tickets will be going to the Dinosaurs first, it is a guaranteed billion dollar movie. Superman and F4 will compete for whatever's left It doesn't help that both Superman and F4 have similar vibes. Hence this is not another Barbernheimer situation. One of them is bound to underperform. I'm just glad Superman is coming out first with a 2 weeks headstart. |

abduleez1: I don't get the hype around Fantastic Four. My first introduction to this group was the 2005 movie and nothing about them felt remarkable to me. I can't anything from those movies, it was average and forgettable. I watched Spiderman 1 and 2 for the first time around that same period and I instantly became a fan. There was a 2015 movie that I have not seen to this day. I think people find this one interesting because it's a new MCU team. Eternals got plenty of hype too when the trailer came out. I don't think anybody re the previous F4 movies. 2 Likes |

BlackManta: I still don't buy this new Jurassic movie hitting $1bn. I might come back to eat my words but my intuition strongly doesn't see it, even if the previous movies were box office juggernauts. I felt same way for WICKED and MUFASA despite all the online rave and shouts. And my guts didn't fail me. Yeah, Superman and F4 both have similar vibes and that's why I don't like their proximity. Either way, I feel Superman would pull huge crowds. It's between it and Jurassic World that would win July box office. Rebirth looks like a $750-850mn+ movie to me....not a billion. Has new stars nowhere near No Chris Pratt or the former legacy actors to boost this one. New story. |

BlackManta:That's because you're a marvel movie fan - every fantastic 4 movie has been shit mostly because of the direction and because the rights aren't owned by Disney but 20th century Fox. But in the comics- they're one of or even the most significant team in Marvel studios - they're the first comics ever in superhero Comics history - first ever drawn up heroes by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. They're the ones who fight of the worst the greatest villains in Marvel - Doctor Doom and Galactus so they're pretty very significant - they were just in the wrong hands in of movies that's why |

oyaskii: I think one major reason why people are hyped is cos of the actors. Pedro Pascal has huge following and an instant crowd pleaser and eyes puller. Just like what Jason Momoa did for the Aquaman movies. Also has good ing cast with good general audience exposure. The vibe also feels very different from previous Marvel films. Similar to Superman. This is under the MCU banner. And its fans have waited years for this and X-Men. The director also is solid. And yes, the previous F4 movies were darn too awful I can barely them. The significant damage from those films is a reason why I feel its performance is around a conservative $650mn if its really good. |

abduleez1:Maybe but Chris Pratt name doesn't bring money nor the actors themselves - it's the franchise. I can almost guarantee a billion esp if the movie is actually good. It's a Jurassic movie - nostalgia bait plus children here lovers dinosaurs so children equals family equals money. That's the reason the Minecraft movie will hit 900m minimum |
Illusioneffect(m): 7:28pm On Feb 06 |
BlackManta:I sincerely hope Superman performs sincerely because DC needs this. There're a lot of cool stories in DC that have not been tapped at all - we have just seen only the tip of the iceberg |
abduleez1(m): 7:36pm On Feb 06 |
Illusioneffect: Nah bro.... ππ The Fantastic Four weren't and aren't the first superhero comics in history. First superhero largely goes to SUPERMAN. But factually its a lesser known guy called 'Ghost'. They also aren't the first superheroes drawn up by Kirby. Even Captain America Kirby drew predates F4 by 20yrs. |

Jurassic World: Rebirth is a sure $1 billion movie. It might not be great, but the money will still flow (especially from the international market). Superman's performance will rely heavily on how good the movie will be; it doesn't have that "come take my money" kind of fans. All the F4 movies have been average at best, and I'm personally not hyped about it, but that MCU tag will do enough to boost it's numbers. I might be wrong, but the competition in July is between Superman and Fantastic Four.... for second place 2 Likes |

Illusioneffect: Despite the franchise power I can assure you if you put a weaker actor in a well known IP it'll underperform. And REBIRTH is the perfect movie to test this my theory. Since all movies in the last trilogy all grossed $1bn+. I can tell you for free, BARBIE wouldn't have crossed a billion if it wasn't for Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig. And a good movie. Put in an Anya Taylor-Joy & Chloe Zhao and the results will be different. Chris Pratt name doesn't bring money?? Lmao... No talk this thing for outside make dem no slap you. π€π Have you checked that guy's movie list...you want a franchise to do really well at the BO, Chris Pratt is your go-to. And it works every damn time...is it animation or live action, he delivers. Someone that was being casted too much in movies I was seeing people crying why he's in everything. He's easily one of the most popular male actors presently. In fact, Chris Pratt is a meme for a studio's easy cash grab franchise movie. |

Trailers are not a representation of reality but here's some food for thought. Although the Jurassic fans are not chronically online lots, but general audience who always can't do without a dinosaur movie. ing Dominion literally had no competition for the whole month of June in 2022 and barely scrapped the $1bn mark and was the weakest in the trilogy story-wise and not so widely crowd pleasing...leaves not much confidence. This one has two mega movies to contend with also. Not the free rein it had some years back. I need some convincing with this Jurassic movie billion dollar tag..... we'll see.

This might be an unpopular opinion. Am I the only one that believes the 2005 Thing looks better than the new one? The old version is a complete practical suit, no CGI. The CGI on the new one looks rough and unfinished and his voice doesn't sound like it's coming out of his body. 4 Likes |

All these bunch of d!Β’k clowns in this comments section makes me laugh.... ![]() ![]() All of them shitting on WB and I can assure you many of these w@nkers with online shout would never go see that film in theatres.....unless it's a mega movie from an IP. Talk is cheap on film twitter. That's how Film Twitter always gets tired of IP and want original films but as soon as a new IP film lands they forget about their "Original" commitment. As for the filmmaker, na the same thing Stephen King talk while praising SALEM'S LOT on WB not releasing it for years. Na King hype make me dey anticipate that film like the coming of Christ β only to be one of the shittiest movies I watched last year.

abduleez1:There're a lot of billion dollar movies without actor's star power tho. I get your point but sometimes only franchise name power is needed to make a lot of money |
