You missed an async inside the .then(response => { ... })

    app.get('/api/popular/movies', async (req, res, next)=> {

    await axiosInstance.get(`filmsNowShowing/`).then(async response => {
        console.log(response.data.films)
        let films = await response.data.films.map(film =>{
            return {
                id:film.film_id,
                name:film.film_name,
                textLong:film.synopsis_long,
                picimage:film.images.poster
            }
        })
    res.status(200).json(films);
  }).catch(err => {
      console.log(err);
  });
});
