Trailers of Movies Showing at Junction
Here’s a detailed look at the current films for the upcoming week, what makes each one compelling, and how to choose depending on what kind of movie night you want.
What’s Showing at Junction Mall This Week
These are the films listed for the Junction branch of Century Cinemax: The Running Man, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, Predator: Badlands, Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution (Subtitled), A Paw Patrol Christmas, Sisu: Road to Revenge, and Wicked: For Good (3D).
Film-by-Film Breakdown
Movies Showing at Junction #1: The Running Man
This is a big action‑drama title. With a runtime of 2 hours 13 minutes and a 16+ age rating, it’s clearly aimed at mature audiences who enjoy high‑stakes, dystopian narratives. The Running Man’s premise revolves around a televised game where “Runners” must survive while being hunted, which means the film leans heavily on tension, competition, and the psychology of survival.
Because of the scale and length, this is ideal for a full cinema session where you can settle in and absorb the plot and spectacle.
For a movie like this, a later evening show might be perfect — the stakes and drama feel more cinematic in a darker, more focused environment.
Also, if you’re going with friends or on a “big movie night,” this offers enough momentum and spectacle to feel memorable.
Now You See Me: Now You Don’t
This sequel from the “Now You See Me” franchise brings back the mix of magic, heists, and mind games. At 1 hour 40 minutes, it’s relatively tight for a heist plus illusion film, suggesting the pacing will be brisk. This is the kind of movie that’s fun to watch with others: you’ll likely spend part of the film trying to guess what’s really going on, and the twists are part of its charm.
Pick this film when you want something lighter than a heavy action blockbuster but still mentally engaging. It’s great for a date night, friends night out, or any setting where you want a clever film that’s entertaining but not too long.
Predator: Badlands (3D)
This is the sci-fi / creature‑feature among Junction’s current titles. With a runtime of 1 hour 48 minutes and a 16+ rating, it’s a pretty balanced action film. The 3D listing (plus “Atmos” for some formats) means that Junction is offering this in a premium, immersive format.
The story centers on a young Yautja (Predator) named Dek who is exiled and ends up forming an uneasy alliance with an android, Thia, to survive a hostile environment and dangerous threats. The 3D format really plays to the strength of Predator visuals — alien designs, hunting scenes, and action sequences can feel much more “real” and visceral.
If you’re into sci-fi, action, and creatures, Predator: Badlands is the pick. Try to go for a 3D showtime and pick a middle row for the best visual depth. It’s a strong choice for a more adrenaline-driven night out.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution (Subtitled)
This anime film is listed as “Execution (Subtitled)” at Junction. Runtime is about 1 hour 28 minutes, and it’s rated 16+.
Because it’s subtitled, this screening is likely aimed at fans who want the true anime experience, with original voice acting and reading, rather than a dubbed version.
