NOW SHOWING
“Wicked: For Good”
at Screenville Cinemas
One of the most beloved and enduring musicals on the stage is back on the widescreen in the sequel to the blockbuster “Wicked” in 2024, “Wicked: For Good”, still showing at Screenville Cinema 4 of Island City Mall.
The new film adapts the second act of the 2003 stage musical by Stephen Schwartz and Holzman, which was loosely based on Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel, a reimagining of L. Frank Baum’s 1900 novel “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” and its 1939 film adaptation.
Set in the Land of Oz before and during the events of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the film explores the relationship between Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande) as they embrace their new identities as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.
Their extraordinary adventures will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good. Wicked is an immersive, cultural celebration that will have you dancing and singing along at home over and over again.
“WICKED: FOR GOOD” is still showing at Screenville Cinema 4 of Island City Mall.

The third installment in James Cameron’s epic sci-fi “Avatar” film series, and the sequel to two of the highest grossing movies of all time, “Avatar” (2009) and “Avatar: The Way of Water” (2022), “Avatar: Fire and Ash” will premiere worldwide on Wednesday, December 17, at Screenville Cinemas of Island City Mall and Alturas Mall, two days ahead of the US release.
In this immersive new fantasy-adventure film, Academy Award-winning filmmaker and “Titanic” director Cameron takes audiences back to Pandora, a lush, habitable moon in another star system inhabited by a humanoid species called the Na’vi.
In the wake of the devastating war against the human invaders and the loss of their eldest son, Na’vi leader Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Na’vi warrior Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) face a new threat, the Ash Clan, a violent Na’vi tribe led by the ruthless Varang. Jake’s family must fight for their survival and the future of Pandora in a conflict that pushes them to their emotional and physical limits.
The previous two “Avatar” films were unprecedented commercial hits, being the top and the third highest grossing films of all time, collectively earning well over $5 billion globally.
