Silverbird Cinema is a subsidiary of Silverbird Group, mainly involved in entertaining the public with movies. The Silverbird Group is a diversified multi-media company with holdings in Radio, Television, Real Estate, and Cinemas. Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, a renowned businessman, politician, public figure, and advocate for the people, founded Silverbird Group in 1980, and the company is today one of the largest media entertainment companies in Africa.
The company is a leader in innovation and has earned an international reputation. Silverbird’s Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN) brand produced the first and only black African Miss World in 2001. Also, Silverbird carved a niche as a ground-breaking company by building the first international standard Mall and Cineplex in Nigeria, the Silverbird Galleria, which paved the way for other malls in the country.
History of Silverbird Cinema
The history of Silverbird cinema dates back to 2004 when the Silverbird group established Silverbird Galleria with the sole aim of entertaining the public with movies. Since opening its doors in 2004, the movie theatre has revolutionized the shopping experience in Nigeria and, indeed, West Africa. With other malls operated by the company mushrooming across the country, Silverbird has become one of the most recognizable shopping mall brands.
Marking over a decade in existence, Ben Murray-Bruce’s Silverbird cinema has continued to provide many blockbuster movies with quality services. The movie theatre is also known for premiering movies on the exact world premiere dates. It is a favorite spot to relax and enjoy a remarkable cinematic experience. First multi-screen cinema in the country, they continually upgrade to keep up with world changes and to bring the best to Nigeria.
The Silverbird Cinema has many milestones. So far, it is popular for having the first 12 multiplex cinemas, not only in Nigeria but across the West African region. Also, Silverbird Cinema is the first in West Africa to maintain two locations – it has locations in two West African countries. Millions of people each year visit the dynamic and fine shopping environment uniquely offered by Silverbird Malls. The huge commercial success recorded by the Silverbird Cinemas in Lagos paved the way for the opening of additional multiplexes in different locations across Nigeria and beyond.
