The Television Best Actor Joel Chan Shan Chung, Oscar Leung Lit Wai and Bob Lam Sing Bun invested, produced and starred Lunar New Year film MAMA NOT AGAIN (MA MA YAU YIU GA) has decent box office in Malaysia. Recently the three went there to attend the promotional events, Shan Chung even brought his wife, son Jaco and the domestic helper to the theater and announced that the Malaysian box office has exceeded the HK$4 million mark (2 million MR). He even celebrated with the drums, gave away posters and set off firework at the theater.

Referring to the double success of the new film at the box office and word of mouth, Shan Chung bluntly said that he was happy but did not dare to relax. He hoped to do his best to promote and thank the audience to pump up the box office. "Every time I hear the audience praise the movie for very entertaining, it is already the biggest reward for us to make this movie!" Chan Shan Chung revealed that his wife and Jaco both praised the film as exciting after watching. When he asked Jaco whether it was funny, his son cutely answered, "It has funny parts!" He joked that his son was happy because he had popcorn while watching the movie, but even his domestic helper thought MAMA NOT AGAIN was funny and had confidence in the quality of his work.

MAMA NOT AGAIN's story is about a mother announcing her remarriage to a "younger man". Should the children attend the wedding or not? Leung Lit Wai, Lam Sing Bun, Christine Ng Wing Mei and Chan Shan Chung's performance have all been praised. Wai Wai was also the screenwriter. Many comments praised the new film for being sincere and with laughter and tears, he said. "That's what I wanted to accomplish when I wrote this story, actually I have thanked the audience several times, and even when watching again from the side I couldn't help but cry! I am very grateful for the support of the audience."

The Philip Yung Tsz Kwong directed Lunar New Year film THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY (GUM DOR BO) starred Elaine Jin (Kam Yin Ling), Chung Suet Ying, Guy group MIRROR member Edan Lui Cheuk On and others. The film opened on the 13th and as of two nights ago it surpassed the HK$ 8 million mark, but its box office and shows are quite a distance from the Dayo Wong Tze Wah and Sammi Cheng Sau Man starred Lunar New Year film NIGHT KING (YEH WONG). Yung Tsz Kwong discovered that after a week in release, SNOWBALL shows have become "heaven and earth shows" at some theaters. He expressed his displeasure on social platform. "What happened to the win-win for Hong Kong films we agreed to?", "Does this count as film scheduling hogging?" He said that he only wanted to have the space to survive, and for viewers who wanted to watch to be able to.

Yung Tsz Kwong mobilized his own money and took out loans to make THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY. Earlier during promotions he revealed that it would have to reach HK$ 30 million to break even. At the time he was still confident from the trend, hoped to be able to make a little profit, be able to continue to start productions and support young directors. THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY as for two nights ago exceeded HK$ 8 million at the box office, while NIGHT KING continued to sustain its advantage with over HK$ 35 million as of yesterday morning.

Yung Tsz Kwong two days ago reposted screen captures from another online on social platforms. In them the differences between shows of THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY and NIGHT KING at two theaters could be seen. The original poster wrote, "On the rare occasion of returning to Hong Kong for the Lunar New Year, I thought I would bring the two elders to watch the Lunar New Year film THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY and took a look at the Lunar 4th schedule. What? There were only 8:20 AM and 00:40 AM shows? Didn't the movie just open? Why didn't it have any normal schedule, yet NIGHT KING is scheduled so tightly. Hey, can theater operators give back more choices to the audience?"

Yung Tsz Kwong was upset and posted, "I understood that it is a business, but our admission rate has not been embarrassing. Actually we only hope to safeguard the second place that cannot threaten the box office champion. Yet......does this count as schedule hogging?" He then again, "8 something in the morning and 12 something in the early morning, then sparing a 1 something afternoon show. One movie has 27 shows a day, the other has 2 a day. What happened to the win-win for Hong Kong films we agreed to? Didn't we ask everyone to watch all the Lunar New Year films? We have opened for less than a week, with an average daily box office of over 1 million. Do we deserved this treatment? We only want to have the space to survive, for viewers who want to watch us to be able to." Yung Tsz Kwong's post led to discussions online. Some posted that the problem was with certain cinema circuits, other circuits still had many SNOWBALL shows daily; some also pointed out that the business has to make money to operate, let the market decide.

On the other hand, Lui Cheuk On has been promoting the Lunar New Year movie he starred in THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY hard, which attracted a large number of fans to come to support him. Yet recently some posted online that they took the elderly to watch the show that day and bumped into Edan's arrival, because they did not want to keep people from taking pictures they stopped. However they were treated rudely by fans who were anxious to enter; and pointed out that some fans walked around talking on the phone after the show started, which seriously affected other audiences. Edan hurriedly left a message to apologize on behalf of the fans when he saw the post. "I'm sorry for affecting your and the elders' viewing experience. Most of them are very well-behaved, and I will remind everyone. I hope there will be no similar situation again." The people online also accepted the apology and thanked Edan for responding personally.

In addition, Edan recently uploaded a photo from the New Year's dinner with his family and claimed that he was his grandmother's "Snowball" as he took the opportunity to promote the movie while showing his warmth.

[2026.02.21] NIGHT KING RULES THE LUNAR NEW YEAR BOX OFFICE WITH HK$ 3 MILLION

NIGHT KING has success at the Hong Kong box office, and its overseas opening performance has also been ideal
courtesy of mingpao.com

The performances of the two Hong Kong Lunar New Year films, the Dayo Wong Tze Wah and Sammi Cheng Sau Man starred Lunar New Year movie NIGHT KING (YEH WONG) and the Edan Lui Cheuk On and Elaine Jin (Kam Yin Ling) starred THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY (GUM DOR BO), have caught attention. According to the Hong Kong Box Office Co. Ltd.'s announcement yesterday, the 2026 Hong Kong and Macau Lunar New Year slot from the Lunar New Year's Eve to the Lunar 3rd (16th to 19th)'s four day box office reached a total of HK$ 39.718 million, an increase of 52.8% from the HK$ 25.987 million in same period last year. The main reason was that this year the Lunar New Year films have been big hits, along with ideal traffic and spending atmosphere the box office performance was driven to improve.

As for the Lunar New Year box office, NIGHT KING and THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY took the top two spots. The former's first 4 days in release accumulated HK$ 26.735 million on top, while SNOWBALL with 4.765 million ranked second. In third place was BLADES OF THE GUARDIANS (BIU YUN: FUNG HEI DAI MOK) with a box office of 2.586 million. BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI) and the Hollywood animation GOAT came in fourth and fifth respectively with 2.111 million and 1.425 million.

The film company announced that NIGHT KING has exceeded HK$30 million at the cumulative box office as of 1 o'clock yesterday since its release in Hong Kong and Macau on Lunar New Year's Day, and the news brought excitement to the team. NIGHT KING not only set a new record for the Hong Kong Lunar New Year film opening, the single day box office, Wong Tze Wah's personal best opening and its 900 shows on opening day that set a new high in the past 10 years; but also set new records around the world. The film's 4 days box office in Malaysia is near 3 million MR (around HK$ 6 million). The film was released in the United States and Canada yesterday, sweeping more than 120 theaters in North America and setting a new record for Hong Kong Lunar New Year films in North America. The film was officially released in United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands and other European regions yesterday, and many advanced screenings in the UK were sold out.

Tomorrow, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the "EJ" team will continue to thank everyone for their support. Director ack Ng Wai Lun said, "I'm very glad that the audience likes NIGHT KING. Recently I have seen many viewers' reviews and praises for the film online, and truly am endlessly grateful. I hope everyone will enjoy watching it, take away a bit of courage and spirit, continue to work hard for their lives in the Year of the Horse and fight back!" After completing a series of promotional activities non-stop before the Lunar New Year, Sammi took advantage of the New Year holiday to go to the theater with her family to watch NIGHT KING. She shared on social platforms that she laughed and was moved together with her sister, brother-in-law and younger brother. "From the start of filming to the madly intense publicity work a while ago, everything is still in my memory. Step by step, every step is in my heart. Brother Foon, Sister V and the people of EJ (including Prince Fung) would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to everyone for entering. This movie is the result of our efforts together."

In addition the stage actress who plays Kwai Fong in the film, Kay Choi Wai Kay broke through, left a deep impression on the audience and became the latest hot search topic on the Internet. She has been praised in particular for still being able to perform at ease in front of two masters Tze Wah God and Alan Yeung Wai Lun. A graduate of the School of Drama of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, Kay said humbly after learning that everyone praised her, "What I want to say the most at this moment is to thank director Jack, producer Ivy and the promotion team. Without them there would be no appearance of this role of Kwai Fong. I'm also very grateful that this role has become a small milestone for me. The movie has a good box office, I hope NIGHT KING will continue to set new records like crazy!"

The Louis Koo Tin Lok and Jessica Hester Hsuan (Suen Huen) starred film BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI) has been in release for over two months. On February 14th the BACK TO THE PAST "PLUS + Multiverse Edition" (Extended Version) was released and as of two days ago (the 18th) it has collected HK$ 93 million in Hong Kong and Macau. TVB started the Lunar New Year's Day early morning re-aired the television drama A STEP INTO THE PAST as the PAST fever continued to heat up. Koo Tin Lok and Suen Huen yesterday early morning started their livestream on time to watch their television drama with the audience, at its peak 160,000 people were watching. During the livestream the two were acting strangely to make the audience laugh. Koo Tin Lok on numerous occasions propped up his head with both hands and played cute. He also deliberately belched at Suen Huen. People said that they were just like an old couple. Many suggested for Koo Tin Lok to sing, and Suen Huen immediately assisted and aid, "You sing, I dance." Koo Tin Lok asked, "No matter what I sing, you are doing the 'worship' dance. Do you know BOYFRIEND?" At first he sang Happy Birthday, but Suen Huen refused to accept that. Finally he submitted and sang the super slow version of POPULAR THIS WEEK word by word, Suen Huen immediately coordinated with a slow "worship dance". Suen Huen joked that if Koo Tin Lok sang BOYFRIEND, she planned to "feel him" from behind. Koo Tin Lok joked, "Luckily I didn't sing that." She also pretended to complain to Koo Tin Lok, saying that the live broadcast in the early morning made her have to sleep late at night. She revealed her health habits such as soaking her feet and scrapping her face every night. Then they joked that they seemed to be selling products on the livestream.

During the live broadcast Koo Tin Lok asked Suen Huen to concentrate on watching TV from time to time, and their entire interaction was like an old couple. Soon Koo Tin Lok carefully asked Suen Huen if she wanted to drink water, but she said that she has prepared a health drink and said to the camera that she lacked qi and blood. In addition she did not want the audience to see her "wilt so quickly", so she had to take good care of her health. The live broadcast ended in nearly an hour.

Koo Tin Lok and Suen Huen's livestream appeared to have technical difficulties early on, first there was picture but no sound, then no picture no sound. Koo Tin Lok revealed that he has not done a livestream. He tested many times before hand but still problems were hard to avoid. "This is how the world is. When everything is ready, something would always happen. However we tried our best to resolve it, using the simplest way to interact with everyone." He compared it to BACK TO THE PAST finally being released after 20 years.

The actors of the Lunar New Year film THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY (GUM DOR BO) including Edan Lui Cheuk On, Chung Suet Ying, Elaine Jin (Kam Yin Ling), Jiro Lee Sheung Ching, etc., together with director Philip Yung Tsz Kwong and producer Effy Sun Fei went to the shopping center yesterday to conduct a promotional activity, playing games with the public and distributing "Snowballs".

THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY has grossed HK$688 million since its release, and the actor Edan thanked the audience for their support. He said, "I know that some fans have watched it five or six times, a family of 11 all went to support the film. My family and I have watched it twice. My parents have tears in their eyes from watching and laugh out as well. I feel that the feeling of watching the premiere is completely different. I also like to see the audience's reaction. I have a little sense of satisfaction from being able to make my Mama cry." Edan said that he entered the theater with his family without disguise, and other viewers also recognized him. He laughed and said, "My younger sister even asked me if I wanted to thank the audience on the spot." As for the director contributing money and effort to make the Lunar New Year film, Edan stated that the director has debts everywhere and hoped that the good box office result would cover the cost. Edan stressed that if he would win the Mark Six Chinese New Year Snowball, he would pay off director Yung Tsz Kwong's debts and invest in his movies because the director at first had to borrow money to start the production. "I really respect his thoughtfulness. I hope that he would have good karma and wouldn't have to lose money." He said, "The director really loves movies, this time he paid out of his own pocket to invest. He made THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY not to make money; he knows that this year has very few Chinese New Year films and hopes that Lunar New Year films will continue to exist and the audience will have more choices. As far as I know, the subject of the movie itself is not for making a Lunar New Year film." When asked if Edan's rumored girlfriend Lin Minchen has watched the film, he declined and said that he would only talk about Lunar New Year movies. He said with a smile, "I would watch it with everyone." He said that if needed he would not mind singing the end title song at each audience appreciation show. Chung Suet Ying would also consider livestreaming it to pump up the box office. He also hoped that MIRROR teammates would automatically buy tickets to support the film. As for whether he will pay a Lunar New Year visit to Liza Wang Ming Chuen's house this year and greet Ah Jeh and Law Kar Ying, Edan said that he has not yet confirmed the time.

Yung Tsz Kwong believed that the opening week box office of HK$ 6.88 million is a good omen and what he expected. He said, "Ultimately it is not a mainstream commercial film, it is a small budget family film. I am the happiest about viewers taking their whole families and the elderly to watch, they laugh and cry from watching and I am very touched. Some audiences have been moved to tears. I hope through word of mouth the movie would have the momentum, the run would grow longer and longer and more and more shows; like earlier THE SPARRING PARTNER (JING YI WUI LONG) and PAPA, their openings were lukewarm but had momentum." When asked whether the director fully funded the film, Yung Tsz Kwong said, "I have to borrow money for the shoot, but fortunately I have a little credibility and the support of many people in the industry. Whether the movie would make it back it would depend on luck. From the trend now I am confident. I hope to be able to make a little profit so I can continue to make movies and support young directors." Yung Tsz Kwong expected the box office would have to be 30 million to break even, hoping that the movie would have a good word of mouth and be able to continue its run. "Our show scheduling is only one-third of that of NIGHT KING, I just hope more people would be able to see it. Our admission rate has always been very good and has broken the opening box office record of my own company." Regarding Sammi Cheng Sau Man's admiration for Yung Tsz Kwong while promoting NIGHT KING and looking forward to the opportunity to collaborate, he said, "I have to have a good script in hand for that to be viable. Sammi is a good actor, and I have also watched NIGHT KING (YEH WONG). I believe that she will watch THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY."

Kam Yin Ling and Lee Sheung Ching praised Yung Tsz Kwong for being fair, never trying to win their sympathy in exchange for the actors to take a pay cut. Yung Tsz Kwong explained that the cast's salary was very accommodating, most of the budget was spent on the production and he was very grateful to everyone for lending a hand. Kam Ying Ling said that she has booked a private screening earlier and invited family and a group of director friends such as Tsui Hark and Ann Hui On Wa to watch the movie, which really touched her companion Suzie Wong. She gave a positive review and hoped that the word of mouth would drive the box office. Kam Yin Ling sincerely hoped that the movie would be able to break even. "My wish this year is to help the director break even. I hope everyone would support the film industry, because many have worked very hard behind the scenes. It's not for myself, the finished movie is the result of everyone. Although the shoot was rather tiring, I had a lot of fun. Now everyone is calling me Grandma, wishing me good health. I would be able to live to 1000!"

Some online earlier said that from looking at the director's appearance they would know their films' quality, criticizing Yung Tsz Kwong's appearance as lacking. Yung Tsz Kwong replied and said that when he saw the post he laughed for a very long time. "I really have no idea, I was born like this. I can only try to pay more attention to my appearance." Two days ago he posted on social platform and admitted that show scheduling wise THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY was less than a half of the favorite NIGHT KING. He felt that his movie was a dark horse but was unwilling to just be also-ran. "We have our clientele, entire families young and old, those who love to watch detailed emotions, those who prefer art and literature. I have seen many cinemas were almost sold out today. I am very grateful to have some viewers' recognition, and the word of mouth is spreading. In comparison to NIGHT KING's overwhelmingly one-sided good word of mouth, ours is only considered above average. We only want to do our best, just like in my message to Brother Tze Wah (Dayo Wong Tze Wah) over a years ago I wrote, 'I don't want you to leave me in the dust!'" Yung Tsz Kwong stressed that he did not have the resource to hire "mercenaries" to promote and absolutely would not consider hiring "dark mercenaries". He would make movies he believes in with his conscience.

The Dayo Wong Tze Wah and Sammi Cheng Sau Man starred Lunar New Year movie NIGHT KING (YEH WONG) has been a big success since its release. Its box office in Hong Kong and Macau has accumulated more than 11 million (Hong Kong dollars, the same below) on the first day of its release, set a new record for the opening of Hong Kong Chinese New Year films, become "the top Lunar New Year movie opening box office in Hong Kong history", and break Wong Tze Wah's personal box office record. At the same time, the strong appeal of NIGHT KING has allowed it to be scheduled for more than 900 screenings in Hong Kong on the opening day of the film and broken the record of Lunar New Year films in the past decade. Repeatedly achieving good results, NIHGT KING exceeded the 20 million mark at the box office yesterday. The official social platform of NIGHT KING posted a message to thank the audience, laughing and saying that "On Chak Hau everyone in EJ are well spoken" and thanked all the "bosses" for their support.

Wong Tze Wah, together with director Jack Ng Wai Lun and his new film NIGHT KING's costars Fish Liw Chi Yu, Alan Yeung Wai Lun, etc. went to a cinema in Mong Kok to attend a promotional event and distributed lai see and smiling esame balls, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.

Dressed in the style of "Brother Foon" that day for his appearance, Wong Tze Wah said with a smile that he originally planned to attend only in underwear; but seeing that everyone was very serious, he decided to show off his authentic "Brother Foon" style. As for when he would appear with Sammi again, he said that he has already made an appointment that day; but because Sammi has a busy schedule recently, he advised her to eat another bowls of pho at home to replenish her energy. Wong Tze Wah also said with a smile that if the box office performance would be satisfactory, he has been thinking about what kind of benefits he should give back to the fans.

In addition to actively promoting Chinese New Year movies, Wong Tze Wah also claimed to be qualified to become a promotional ambassador for Mong Kok. He said, "Mongkok really has a lot of things to do. It has flash cards for you to buy, and sneaker street has been completely changed. In short I advise people all over the world to come to Mong Kok when they have time, and stay in Hong Kong to consume." As for how he appeared in Mong Kok without being noticed by passers-by, he joked that he would not reveal that and joked that he might use cotton blanket as a cover.

This year Hong Kong's Lunar New Year film production has been fewer in quantity, but the box office trend has been decent. Among them NIGHT KING (YEH WONG) stood out alone, recording a box office of about HK$ 866 million with over 900 shows in a single day on the Lunar New Year's Day. With the advanced sales results, the total box office has exceeded 10 million and ranked first in the opening and single-day box office of Lunar New Year films in Hong Kong history. The strong momentum sets an opening box office record for a Dayo Wong Tze Wah movie. A group of actors, including Louise Wong Dan Nei and Renci Yeung Sze Wing, continued to focus on online publicity, while Fish Liew Chi Yu will also thank the audience with her co-stars in the film on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Film director Jack Ng Wai Lun forwarded the results post, saying thank you 6 times on behalf of the cast and the crew and filled the audience appreciation screening of sincerity.

NIGHT pulled away by a larger percentage from THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY (GUM DOR BO)'s HK$ 1.3 million box office, while the action movie BLADES OF THE GUARDIANS (BIU YUN: FUNG HEI DAI MOK) with 880,000 at the box office ranked third. Another Lunar New Year film, SNOWBALL opened earlier on the 13tth and announced two days ago that it has collected HK$ 3.88 million. NIGHT KING continued its over 900 show run yesterday and SNOWBALL over 290 shows, the latter in comparison has less shows. The SNOWBALL cast including MIRROR member Edan Lui Cheuk On, Elaine Jin (Kam Yin Ling), Chung Suet Ying, Jiro Lee Sheung Ching, Lee Hoi Lam and director Philip Yung Tsz Kwong today would pay a group Lunar New Year visit to Ma On Shan to pump up the box office.

In addition, Stephen Chow Sing Chi's new film WOMEN'S SOCCER (NUI JOOK) started production last year, has been rumored to star Dilraba, Zhang Xiaofei, Lay Zhang, Sisley Choi Si Bui, Jay Chou and Korean star Song Kang-ho, and wrapped up production in June last year. Yet it did not open on Lunar New Year this year as expected. Chow Sing Chi posted a video on social platform on Lunar New Year's Day. He appeared in his office with his "back toward the camera" as usual, as employees one by one paid him a New Year visit for lai see. "Sixth Brother" Lam Tsz Chung greeted, "One Horse Takes the Lead, I wish your movie would be a bit hit this year!" and leaked that WOMEN'S SOCCER would open this year. Another employee also said, "Everyone is looking forward to your WOMEN'S SOCCER!"

Lam Tsz Chung and that employee sang the praises of WOMEN'S SOCCER's leads, matches, action scenes and emotional scenes for being full of tense, coaxing Chow Sing Chi to give lai see like mad. Lam Tsz Chung even asked his children and other employees to wish the boss a Happy New Year, say WOMEN'S SOCCER would be exciting and entertaining and claim the numerous lai see on his desk as their own.

Chow Sing Chi commented, "As soon as I hear the employee's praises I know they are sincere. In order to encourage such a honest climate, comment with what you want to say to me sincerely and I would choose the 'honest' 10 for a mystery gift."

This is a remake story of "Driving Madeleine" (2022). Koji Usami works every day as a taxi driver to support his family. He's delighted about his daughter being accepted on recommendation to a high school attached to a college of music, but his meager income makes him increasingly anxious about the accompanying enrollment fee, not to mention vehicle inspection costs, rent, and everything else he has to pay for. One day, Koji fills in for a colleague and drives to Taishakuten in Shibamata to pick up a 85-year-old woman Sumire Takano. Upon successfully finding Sumire in Shibamata, Koji is asked to drive across Tokyo and beyond to Hayama, way out in the neighboring prefecture of Kanagawa. Due to Sumire's advanced age, she finds even the knives to be heavy to hold, and feels unable to take care of herself while living on her own. So she has decided to live out her last years in a nursing home. On the way, Sumire makes Koji take several detours. Sumire gradually opens her heart to Koji, and she begins to tell him about her own tragic past. This coincidental encounter will move their hearts and change their lives.

[ EMPEROR CINEMAS ]
    Kam Muiday has long been asking her granddaughter Sunnie Lam to buy the same set of lucky numbers in each Mark Six lottery ticket for years. However, fate played a cruel trick. During the Lunar New Year's "Snowball Draws", Sunnie was unable to place the bet, and that set of lucky numbers won a jackpot of HK$ 88.88 million.

    Not wanting to shatter grandmother's dream, Sunnie borrowed a villa from her filming colleague Jay Lai, claiming that it was purchased with the winnings. Sunnie's father, Ken Lam, mother Charlotte Tong, and younger brother Harry Lam, moved into the villa with her grandmother. Living together under one roof gradually healed their once-distant relationships and brought them closer. However, an unexpected incident ultimately revealed this well-intentioned "villa lie"...
