In Bugonia, two conspiracy-obsessed young men decide to take matters into their own hands when they become convinced that the CEO of a powerful global corporation is not human, but an alien plotting the downfall of Earth. Fueled by paranoia and a deep mistrust of authority, they kidnap her in a desperate attempt to expose what they believe to be the truth. But as their plan spirals out of control, reality begins to blur, and the line between delusion and revelation grows dangerously thin.
What follows is a darkly comic and unsettling psychological thriller that explores the dangers of misinformation, obsession, and moral conviction in the digital age. As the captors and captive engage in a tense battle of wits and ideology, Bugonia challenges audiences to question who the real villains are—and whether saving the world might sometimes destroy it.
November 12 – The Running Man (Paramount Pictures)
Cast: Glen Powell, William H. Macy, Lee Pace, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones, Daniel Ezra, Jayme Lawson, Sean Hayes, Katy O’Brian with Colman Domingo and Josh Brolin. Directed by: Edgar Wright
In a dystopian near-future, The Running Man reigns as the most-watched television event on the planet — a lethal game show where desperate contestants, called Runners, must survive for 30 days while being hunted by elite assassins. Every kill is televised, every scream is sponsored, and every second fuels the public’s obsession with blood and spectacle. When struggling factory worker Ben Richards (Glen Powell) learns his young daughter’s life depends on a costly medical procedure, he’s lured into the deadly game by charismatic yet merciless producer Dan Killian (Josh Brolin). But once inside the arena, Ben’s resilience and humanity capture the hearts of viewers and threaten to expose the sinister truth behind the entertainment empire.
As Ben becomes an unwilling symbol of rebellion, The Running Man transforms from a mere survival contest into a revolution broadcast live across the world. The hunters grow more ruthless, the stakes rise higher, and the line between reality and performance begins to shatter. With every escape, Ben challenges not only his killers but the corrupt system that made violence a form of worship. Visually electrifying and morally charged, this reimagined sci-fi thriller explores fame, freedom, and what it truly means to survive in a world addicted to chaos.
November 12 – Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (Ayala Malls Cinemas exclusive)
Cast: Jeremy Allen White, Jeremy Strong, Paul Walter Hauser, Stephen Graham, Odessa Young, Gaby Hoffmann, Marc Maron, David Krumholtz. Directed by: Scott Cooper
From 20th Century Studios comes Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, a powerful exploration of the creative and emotional journey behind Bruce Springsteen’s landmark 1982 album, Nebraska. Set at a crossroads in the artist’s life, the film follows a young Springsteen (played by Jeremy Allen White) as he wrestles with fame, loneliness, and the weight of his own success. Holed up in his New Jersey home with nothing but a 4-track recorder and his guitar, he pours his fears, doubts, and dreams into music that strips away the bravado of rock stardom to reveal something deeply human. What emerges is Nebraska — a stark, soul-baring masterpiece that redefined his artistry and spoke to America’s quiet despair and fragile hope.
More than just a portrait of a musician, Deliver Me from Nowhere is a meditation on purpose, pain, and the pursuit of authenticity. Through its haunting cinematography and emotionally charged performances, the film captures the spirit of isolation that fueled Springsteen’s rawest work — and the inner reckoning that turned a global rock icon into a storyteller of the forgotten and the broken. As the music takes shape, so does the man behind it, confronting the cost of creation and the healing power of finding one’s voice amid the silence.
