Now Showing in Grand Blanc & Fenton: The Bride!, Supergirl & Daniel and the Fiery Furnace

It is the first full week of October, the trees are showing their colors, and this week's local screens are stacked with three very different reasons to head out. The buzzy Frankenstein reimagining The Bride! is drawing crowds at NCG Cinemas Grand Blanc, DC's long-awaited Supergirl is lighting up the US 23 Drive-In, and the faith-based epic Daniel and the Fiery Furnace is making noise in its first weeks of release. Whether you live in Grand Blanc, Fenton, Linden, Davison, or one of the surrounding communities, your next great night out is a short drive away.

Where to Watch in Our Community

For moviegoers across Grand Blanc, Fenton, and Davison, NCG Cinemas at Trillium (NCG Grand Blanc) at 8220 Trillium Circle Ave is the hometown multiplex, with stadium seating, a big IMAX auditorium, and a lineup that turns over every single week. For a true Michigan classic, the US 23 Drive-In at 5200 Fenton Rd in Flint keeps the old-school charm alive under the open sky, with double features on Friday and Saturday nights through the fall. Fenton families also have Fenton Cinema at 291 N Alloy Dr, Fenton's own hometown theater, and Lapeer-area moviegoers can jump on NCG Lapeer Cinemas at 1650 DeMille Rd. Davison and Linden do not have their own screens, which is why families from both communities make the easy drive to Grand Blanc and the drive-in all the time.

Showtimes change from week to week and even day to day, so we are not going to quote exact times here. Instead, use this guide to decide what to see, then check the theater's site for precise schedules before you head out.

The One Everyone Is Talking About: The Bride!

If there is one movie being debated around town this week, it is The Bride!. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Maggie Gyllenhaal wrote and directed this bold reimagining of the 1935 classic Bride of Frankenstein, with Christian Bale as Dr. Frankenstein and Jessie Buckley as the woman he brings back from the dead. Set in 1930s Chicago, the story follows Frankenstein as he asks a brilliant colleague to help him create a companion, and the reanimated Bride who emerges sparks a whirlwind romance that draws police attention and upends the city around them. Critics have called it a "Bonnie and Clyde fever dream," and nobody can agree on it, which is exactly why it is such fun to see for yourself.

Who it is for: fans of bold, stylish filmmaking, date-night couples who like their movies to spark conversation, and anyone who wants to see two great actors at the top of their game. It is the buzziest new release of the week at NCG Grand Blanc, so it is an easy pick without leaving town. Check the theater's site for showtimes and formats.

For Superhero Fans: Supergirl

The most anticipated DC movie of the year is here, and it is showing right now at the US 23 Drive-In. Supergirl, directed by Craig Gillespie, stars Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, a cousin of Superman who grew up on the isolated Kryptonian outpost Argo City and watched nearly everyone she knew die. On her 23rd birthday she is still partying across the galaxy with her faithful dog Krypto, ignoring her cousin Kal-El's calls to come to Earth, until an alien girl named Ruthye recruits her for a dangerous revenge quest that takes the pair across the stars, with Jason Momoa's Lobo along for the ride. Based on Tom King's acclaimed comic run Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, it is being called the DCU's darkest and most ambitious film yet.

Who it is for: superhero fans, anyone who loved Superman earlier this year, and families looking for a big action adventure. Watching a cosmic hero saga unfold on the big outdoor screen on a crisp October night is about as Michigan as it gets, and the drive-in's Friday and Saturday double features make it an easy full evening. Check the drive-in's page for the current lineup and gate times.

For Faith & Family Audiences: Daniel and the Fiery Furnace

For audiences looking for something inspiring, the biblical epic Daniel and the Fiery Furnace continues its strong run at NCG Grand Blanc. Written, directed, and produced by the Kooman brothers, it follows the Old Testament prophet Daniel after Babylon conquers Jerusalem, as he and his friends rise into favor under King Nebuchadnezzar, make powerful enemies, and see their faith tested in the famous fiery furnace. Mena Massoud, star of Disney's Aladdin, plays Daniel, with Elijah Alexander as King Nebuchadnezzar. Since opening in mid-September it has debuted as the number-one faith-based film in North America, buoyed by one of the most successful crowdfunding campaigns in recent faith-film history.

Who it is for: faith-based audiences, families looking for a values-forward story with real production values, and anyone who loves a sweeping historical epic. Pair it with an early dinner and you have a meaningful, uplifting evening the whole household can share.

Bonus for varied tastes: NCG Grand Blanc is also still showing the box-office champion Resident Evil in IMAX, Project Hail Mary with Ryan Gosling for sci-fi fans, Spider-Man: Brand New Day for superhero families, the crowd-pleasing Coyote vs. Acme, and last week's big openers Digger and Verity. The US 23 Drive-In keeps a fresh weekly lineup too, with Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey on the big screen, family favorites Toy Story 5 and Minions & Monsters, and Evil Dead Burn for horror fans who like their scares under the stars.

Why a Movie Night Is a Great Night Out

A night at the movies is one of the easiest, most affordable ways to enjoy everything our community has to offer. Grab dinner at a favorite local spot first, catch a show, and you have a perfect evening with no long drive. For families in Grand Blanc and Fenton, it is a weekly ritual that brings everyone together. For adults, it is a date night that feels fresh every time. There is something special about knowing the same films playing in the big-city multiplexes are showing just minutes from your own neighborhood, or that you can pull up to a drive-in screen under a sky full of October stars. It is exactly the kind of everyday rhythm that makes a town feel like home.
