Touted as Hong Kong’s first radiation-disaster blockbuster, Anthony Pun’s Cesium Fallout chronicles the political and frontline responses to a national catastrophe as it unfolds on the outskirts of the city. Emulating the blockbusters of Irwin Allen and Roland Emmerich, the rampant urban destruction is complemented by a star-studded ensemble of some of the local industry’s most prominent talent. Andy Lau takes top billing as the scientist drafted to advise Karen Mok’s bullheaded politician when a fire breaks out in a landfill site riddled with illegal radioactive waste. As the leadership bickers over the appropriate response and who is to be reprimanded, it falls to the blue collar heroes of the Hong Kong Fire Services Department to tackle the inferno head on.

The past few months have been quite shocking in the entertainment industry. Former music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was recently arrested after a hefty federal investigation. Some of the charges he’s facing are sex trafficking and racketeering. A large portion of these charges stem from the parties Diddy used to throw back in the day. Tons of people from nearly all walks of life attended those functions in some capacity. Nick Cannon was one of these people. However, unlike plenty of other celebrities, Cannon was still a youngster at the time. He recently revealed how young he was when he attended his first Diddy party.

Hong Kong saw “A Guilty Conscience” become the highest-grossing film of all time at its local box office. But the wider cinema market in Hong Kong remained stuck far below pre-pandemic levels.

Data from Hong Kong Box Office Limited, a joint venture between Motion Picture Industry Association (Mpia) and the Hong Kong Theatres Association, showed annual cinema revenue of Hk$1.43 billion ($184 million) in 2023.

That was a 25% improvement on 2022, when the industry was battered by on-off closures due to government Covid-control measures, and managed only Hk$1.14 billion ($146 million). But the 2023 score also remained 25% shy of 2019, the last pre-pandemic year, when box office reached Hk$1.92 billion ($246 million).

Hyper-local courtroom drama, “A Guilty Conscience” earned Hk$115 million ($14.7 million), but it was the only local title to make it into the territory’s top ten chart in 2023. Next in line were “Oppenheimer” (Hk$72.8 million), “Mission: Impossible -Dead Reckoning Part 1” (Hk$60.5 million), “The Super Mario...

Feted in Busan this week as the Asian Filmmaker of the Year, Hong Kong superstar Chow Yun-fat bemoaned censorship in China for its impact on the film industry.

“We have a lot of censorship requirements in mainland China. Scripts must go to many departments. So, we need [to portray] clear situations in scripts. Honestly, we will try our best to make movies with Hong Kong spirit. In the 1980s people watched a lot of Hong Kong films. I’m proud,” said Chow at a press event at the Busan International Film Festival on Thursday.

“After 1997 [the year when Hong Kong ceased to be a British colony and was returned to China] a lot of things changed. We have to pay attention to our government. Otherwise, it will be hard to get the money to make movies. The Mainland market is so huge.”

Insisting that he is “just an ordinary person,” Chow spent much of the rest of the event emitting a joyful and relaxed aura, discussing his love...
