Featuring Wong, veteran actor Michael Hui Koon-man and actress Michelle Wai, it had raked in more than HK$122 million as of Saturday morning, the film's distributor said. The figure beat the previous record holder, 2023 court drama A Guilty Conscience, which grossed HK$121.79 million locally and also starred Wong.



The Last Dance (formerly titled Dance of Deliverance) is a 2024 Hong Kong drama film directed and written by Chan Mau-yin. Starring Dayo Wong, Michael Hui, Michelle Wai, and Chu Pak-hong, the movie delves into the funeral industry in Hong Kong. Through the Taoist ritual of breaking the underworld (Po Di Yu), it explores themes of human connections, life, and death.




"The Last Dance" Tops Hong Kong Box Office for Chinese-Language Films

December 8, 2024

(Hong Kong) Directed by Chan Mau-yin and starring Michael Hui, Dayo Wong, Michelle Wai, and Chu Pak-hong, The Last Dance has been a massive box office success.


After 29 days of release, the film has grossed HK$122 million on , surpassing Dayo Wong’s previous film A Guilty Conscience to become the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in Hong Kong.

When asked about the film's success, Dayo Wong expressed hopes for annual record-breaking films, while Michael Hui called it an "unexpected miracle," crediting divine blessings for the achievement. Director Chan Mau-yin and actress Michelle Wai shared their feelings of disbelief in an interview with Ming Pao.


Despite their newfound status as the director and actress of Hong Kong's highest-grossing film, they remain humble. Chan emphasized the importance of producing quality films, echoing the teachings of veteran filmmaker Raymond Wong.


Michelle Wai expressed her hopes of winning Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards, aiming to prove herself as a passionate actress rather than merely a social media personality, and she looks forward to more acting opportunities in the future.

The Last Dance premiered in Hong Kong on November 9 and broke multiple records during its 29-day run, including becoming the fastest Chinese-language film to surpass HK$1 billion in box office revenue.


As of December 7, 5 PM, the film had grossed HK$122 million in Hong Kong, cementing its position as the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in the territory.


Including Macau's box office earnings, the total revenue exceeded HK$122 million, making it the top-grossing Chinese-language film across Hong Kong and Macau and setting a new box office record.

Someone mentioned that if you have lost a beloved family member and attended their funeral, watching this movie would deeply touch your heart and make you feel sad.

Is that true?

Saw a youtube video whereby a Chinese medium mentioned that those rituals depicted in this movie were accurate. Also these rituals only work if the spirit is in shallow level of hell; will not work if the spirit is in deep level of hell (unable to pull them out).

Yeah it is. Worth the time and/or money. My last HK movie at cinema probably 10 years ago.
