Hollywood’s latest dinosaur spectacle, Jurassic World: Rebirth, has roared into Nigerian cinemas with a solid opening, earning N52.5 million in its debut weekend.
While international attention is fixed on global box office performance, the film’s local reception reflects Nigeria’s growing appetite for big-budget blockbusters and establishes the Jurassic franchise’s enduring appeal.
Directed by Gareth Edwards, known for Rogue One and Godzilla, Rebirth is the seventh installment in the Jurassic Park franchise and a direct sequel to 2022’s Jurassic World: Dominion, which earned more than $1 billion globally.
