Turki Alalshikh, chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), has announced a cash prize of one million riyals for the holder of Saudi Arabia’s millionth ticket to the global Arabic action film “7Dogs.”
The film—the highest-grossing title in the history of Arab cinema—is currently screening exclusively at Fox Cinema outlets across the Kingdom and is on the verge of selling its millionth ticket in Saudi cinemas, extending the strong demand it has enjoyed since its local and international release.

Released in late May, “7Dogs” continues its theatrical run worldwide. It opened in India two weeks ago, further consolidating the successes it has achieved locally and regionally as it expands its footprint as one of the most prominent Arab cinematic productions with global appeal.
The film has also recorded the highest ticket sales for a Saudi Arab film and the biggest opening for any film in the history of Arab cinema, selling more than 3.25 million tickets across the Arab world and generating over $24.2 million in revenue.
“7Dogs” follows an Interpol officer who confronts an international criminal network specializing in drug trafficking, in a plot that blends action, chases and thrilling confrontations. It features an elite cast of Arab and international stars, led by Karim Abdel Aziz, Ahmed Ezz, Nasser Al-Qasabi and Tara Emad, alongside global star Monica Bellucci, Indian cinema icons Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt, and American actor Giancarlo Esposito. The story is by His Excellency Adviser Turki Alalshikh, with a screenplay by Mohammed Al-Dabbah and direction by the international duo Adel Arabi and Bilal Fallah.
