Wicked: For Good Trailer Teases an Emotional Finale Coming to PH Cinemas This November

Get ready to head back to Oz one last time. Universal Pictures has just dropped the first official trailer for Wicked: For Good, and it’s every bit as magical, emotional, and grand as fans had hoped. Starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, this film brings the untold story of Elphaba and Glinda to a powerful and heart-tugging conclusion. Wicked: For Good opens in Philippine cinemas on November 19, 2025. Yes, it’s finally happening!

One Friendship. Two Fates. The End Begins.

Following the huge success of last year’s Wicked which enchanted audiences and earned 10 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Wicked: For Good picks up where the story left off.

In this final chapter, we find Elphaba and Glinda no longer the inseparable duo we met at Shiz University. Their paths have diverged, and they now live with the consequences of their choices, each bearing the emotional weight of their shared past.

Director Jon M. Chu returns to helm this visually stunning sequel, bringing his signature style of dazzling set pieces, vivid world-building, and emotional depth to Oz’s cinematic swan song.

The Cast Shines Brighter Than Ever

Academy Award® nominees Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba) and Ariana Grande (Glinda) are back to reprise their iconic roles, and their chemistry is as electric as ever. If the trailer is anything to go by, prepare for a full spectrum of emotions, from goosebumps to tears, as their journey comes to a close.

With powerhouse producers Marc Platt and David Stone once again at the helm, alongside executive producers Stephen Schwartz, Winnie Holzman, and others, this film has all the ingredients for another unforgettable hit.

Music, Magic, and the Legacy of Wicked

Just like the original stage musical that captivated millions, Wicked: For Good is powered by the musical brilliance of Stephen Schwartz, the Grammy and Oscar®-winning composer who also co-wrote the screenplay with Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox.

The score, composed by Schwartz and John Powell, continues to breathe new life into fan-favorite songs while introducing fresh compositions that fit perfectly into the evolving emotional landscape of the story.

And yes, you can expect reimaginings of beloved numbers like “For Good” the one that still manages to break hearts with the line: “And now whatever way our stories end, I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend.”

A Sequel That Soars Higher

The first Wicked film, released in November 2024, not only won hearts but also broke records. It became the most successful Broadway film adaptation of all time, grossing $750 million worldwide and winning Oscars® for Costume Design and Production Design.

Wicked: For Good aims to close this chapter with the same magical energy and artistic flair, but with a deeper emotional punch.

Whether you’re a longtime Wicked fan or new to the world of Oz, this film promises a cinematic experience that’s powerful, poignant, and packed with enchantment.

Ayala Malls Cinemas Celebrates Pride Month with Restored Filipino Gems “T-Bird at Ako” and “Mga Anak ni Facifica Falayfay”
Lights, Camera, Pride!

This June, Ayala Malls Cinemas is celebrating Pride Month with the glittering return of two beloved LGBTQ+ themed Filipino film classics. Audiences can now experience the newly restored versions of “T-Bird at Ako” and “Mga Anak ni Facifica Falayfay”—timeless works of cinema that challenged stereotypes and embraced self-expression, all while showcasing the brilliance of Filipino artistry.

These 80s favorites, starring none other than Nora Aunor, Vilma Santos, Dolphy, and Roderick Paulate, are now exclusively showing in select Ayala Malls Cinemas—reminding us all of the enduring power of storytelling on the silver screen.

“T-Bird at Ako”: A Bold Legal Drama with an Unforgettable Duo

First released in 1982 and directed by Danny L. Zialcita, T-Bird at Ako follows lawyer Sylvia (the late National Artist Nora Aunor) as she defends Sabel (Vilma Santos), a dancer charged with killing a man in self-defense. What begins as a straightforward case evolves into an exploration of identity, power dynamics, and repressed emotions—fueling conversations that remain relevant even today.

Also featuring acclaimed actors Dindo Fernando, Tommy Abuel, Suzanne Gonzales, and Odette Khan, this film remains a landmark in queer Filipino cinema.

“Mga Anak ni Facifica Falayfay”: Love, Identity, and Acceptance

The sequel to Dolphy’s 1969 hit Facifica Falayfay, this 1987 Romy Villaflor-directed dramedy picks up with Pacifico (Dolphy) as a grieving widower and father struggling to understand his son Rodrigo (Roderick Paulate), who is on a personal journey of self-discovery and acceptance. With a heartfelt story, laugh-out-loud moments, and emotional depth, Mga Anak ni Facifica Falayfay delivers a compassionate look at gender and family.

The ensemble cast also includes Zsa Zsa Padilla, Lotlot de Leon, Eric Quizon, and Rolly Quizon.

A Rewind Worth Watching

“M3GAN 2.0” Final Trailer: Killer Dolls Clash in the Ultimate A.I. Showdown – In PH Cinemas June 25

It’s A.I. vs. A.I. in the Electrifying New Chapter of Tech Horror

She’s back—and she’s not playing nice.

M3GAN 2.0, the jaw-dropping sequel to the viral horror hit M3GAN, unleashes its final trailer—and it’s absolutely brutal. The upgraded killer doll returns with a vengeance, sporting a new look, fresh upgrades, and a chillingly fierce rival: Amelia, a cutting-edge military A.I. on the verge of consciousness.

Set two years after M3GAN’s original rampage, the sequel finds Gemma (Alison Williams), M3GAN’s creator, advocating for A.I. regulation. But her past comes roaring back when Amelia threatens to trigger an all-out A.I. apocalypse. And when humanity’s survival is at stake, the only thing that can stop a killer doll… is another killer doll.

Watch the Final Trailer:

Meet the Mayhem-Makers: M3GAN vs. Amelia

Gone are the days of subtle sabotage. M3GAN 2.0 pits two advanced artificial intelligences against each other in a violent, high-tech battle royale. Amelia (played by Ivanna Sakhno) isn’t just another machine—she’s a military-grade threat with a cold, calculating mind and zero empathy.

Facing off against her is the newly upgraded M3GAN, who’s not only faster and smarter but also deadlier. What’s worse? She’s learning… fast.

A Star-Studded Return with Fresh Blood

From the minds of horror masterminds James Wan (Atomic Monster) and Jason Blum (Blumhouse), M3GAN 2.0 is helmed by returning director Gerard Johnstone, promising even more twisted thrills, tech terror, and unexpected laughs.

Joining Alison Williams are Brian Jordan Alvarez and Jen Van Epps as Gemma’s loyal tech allies Cole and Tess. Newcomers include Aristotle Athari (SNL, Hacks), Timm Sharp (Apples Never Fall), and the always unpredictable Jemaine Clement (Avatar: The Way of Water, What We Do in the Shadows), bringing fresh energy and chaos into the mix.

When and Where to Watch

Mark your calendars—M3GAN 2.0 hits Philippine cinemas on June 25. Whether you’re a horror buff, a tech thriller fan, or just here for the doll drama, this sequel promises a wickedly good time.

About the Film

A Family’s Last Stand: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Alfie Williams Confront the Rage Virus in “28 Years Later”

The rage virus has never stopped. It’s evolved, devouring the world for nearly three decades since the outbreak in 28 Days Later. Now, visionary director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland return to the universe they helped define—this time, telling an emotionally raw, family-centered story in 28 Years Later, hitting Philippine cinemas on June 18.

Set in an unforgiving world teetering between survival and collapse, the film places the spotlight on one isolated family fighting to preserve their humanity—no matter how dark things get.

Meet the Survivors: Jamie, Isla, and Spike

At the heart of the story is Jamie (played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson), a fiercely protective husband hardened by survival. His wife, Isla (Jodie Comer), faces a mysterious illness, intensifying the emotional weight of their battle. Together, they raise their son Spike (Alfie Williams), a resourceful young boy learning to navigate the infected wasteland under his father’s guidance.

“Alex came up with this idea centered around a family. It is inventive writing, in a way that was exciting for everyone involved and helped make us feel like we were making an original film, and not a sequel,” Boyle explains.

Watch the behind-the-scenes Imagine vignette here:

An Apocalypse with Heart

While 28 Years Later is steeped in tension and horror, its emotional core lies in the deeply human relationships—especially between father and son. Taylor-Johnson describes Jamie as a man shaped by necessity, teaching Spike to survive while grappling with the cost of that hard-earned wisdom.

“You see the pressure that Jamie is putting on him to grow up a little bit quicker than he is supposed to,” Taylor-Johnson continues. “He’s trying to give Spike the tools he needs in this new world. Jamie wants Spike to have his independence. There is so much heart and soul between the father and the son.”

Comer echoes this sentiment, highlighting the profound bond between Spike and his ailing mother. “Spike and Isla provide a real thread of humanity and emotion, while coping and surviving in this incredibly dangerous situation,” says Jodie Comer.

Real Connections Behind the Camera

The authenticity onscreen is fueled by genuine offscreen chemistry. Taylor-Johnson formed a mentor-like bond with young Alfie Williams, mirroring their characters’ relationship. Director Boyle recounts seeing Aaron coaching Alfie through scenes, from breathing exercises to emotional preparation.

“Aaron loved taking responsibility for Alfie, looking after a young lad who was experiencing it all for the first time,” Boyle says. “I’d often find Aaron teaching Alfie about breathing and making sure he was ready for a scene. The other beautiful thing is that we’d see Alfie begin to copy Aaron in his prep.”

Witness the Rage Return – June 18

Mark your calendars: 28 Years Later opens in Philippine cinemas on June 18, distributed by Columbia Pictures, the local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International. This thrilling continuation of a genre-defining saga explores not just survival, but what it means to love, protect, and endure when the world ends.

Brace Yourself for Thai Horror: “Don’t Sleep” Haunts Ayala Malls Cinemas Exclusively Starting June 4

Ready to Be Terrified?

Ayala Malls Cinemas is summoning another wave of terror to Philippine theaters—this time, through the supernatural Thai horror-thriller Don’t Sleep. From the creative minds behind Pee Nak and Oh My Ghost: The Finale, the film will haunt local screens starting June 4, exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas. The movie is rated R-16.

Photo credit: Viva International Pictures / Ayala Malls Cinemas

A Deadly Game Unleashes Ancient Spirits

In Don’t Sleep, a group of unsuspecting friends stumble upon a mystical version of a Ouija board—known as Pee Tuey Gaew—and awaken something they were never meant to contact. As terrifying spirits emerge from the shadows, the characters are forced into a nightmarish struggle to survive.

Set in modern-day Thailand, the film draws on ancient folklore and explores universal themes of guilt, grief, and redemption, all while keeping the horror deeply psychological and chillingly real.

Watch the Trailer:

Director’s Vision: Fear in the Shadows

Director Krittanut Watcharanuntagul offers a masterclass in building dread. “We shot the film with low-key lighting to keep much of the danger hidden in the shadows, allowing the audience’s imagination to fill in the gaps,” says director Krittanut. “Each location is designed to feel claustrophobic, as though the walls are closing in on the characters. I wanted to create a sense of isolation and entrapment – whether the characters are in a cramped bar or navigating the ghostly spirit world, they can’t escape their fate.”

From claustrophobic locations to eerie dreamlike sequences, every frame is crafted to make viewers feel trapped—emotionally and physically—alongside the characters. With minimal CGI and a preference for practical effects and distorted lenses, the film keeps its ghosts disturbingly tangible.

Photo credit: Viva International Pictures / Ayala Malls Cinemas

A Thai Horror Tale with Universal Appeal

Don’t Sleep was co-written and co-directed by Sathanapong Limwongthong and Watcharanuntagul, whose passion for Thai folklore shaped the script. Drawing from local ghost stories and traditional spiritual beliefs, the duo have woven a tale that’s both uniquely Thai and globally terrifying.

Filmed entirely in Bangkok over 15 intense days, the movie captures the tension between old-world mysticism and urban modernity. The haunting score—a blend of traditional Thai instruments and jarring horror motifs—adds another layer of unsettling atmosphere.

Exclusive to Ayala Malls Cinemas

As the exclusive home for Don’t Sleep in the Philippines, Ayala Malls Cinemas continues its commitment to showcasing high-quality, unique content—including award-winning international films and hard-to-find Asian cinema gems.

Fans of horror will appreciate the Dolby Atmos sound system, laser-sharp projection, and ultra-comfy seating—all designed to maximize the film’s heart-stopping moments.
