Night King

Plot

The once-glamourous nightclub EJ Entertainment suddenly experiences a hostile takeover. Much like the nightclub industry, the glory days are over for the club’s manager, despite having stood tall in East Tsim Sha Tsui for decades. To make matters worse, the new CEO is none other than his cutthroat ex-wife.

About Night King

Night King (Chinese: 夜王) is a 2026 Hong Kong comedy film directed and co-written by Jack Ng. Starring Dayo Wong and Sammi Cheng, the film features an ensemble cast of returnees from Ng and Wong's A Guilty Conscience (2023), including Louise Wong, Fish Liew, Dee Ho, Renci Yeung, and Tse Kwan-ho. Set in 2012, the story takes place at Club EJ, the last-standing nightclub in Tsim Sha Tsui East, where its manager (Wong) and newly appointed CEO (Cheng) cooperate to prevent the nightclub from shutting down amidst industry decline. Following the commercial success of A Guilty Conscience, the film was conceived during a celebratory dinner by the cast and crew. The screenplay was set as a comedy centered around Hong Kong nightclubs after co-writer Ho Miu-ki joined the project in 2024. Principal photography took place from June to September 2025, including location shoots in Macau. The film features a re-recorded version of Sammi Cheng's 1997 single "Everyone is a Superstar" as its theme song. Night King had its world premiere at Galaxy Macau on 6 February 2026, followed by a theatrical release in Hong Kong on 19 February as a Chinese New Year film for the Year of the Horse. The film broke numerous box office records, including becoming the fourth Hong Kong film to reach the HK$100 million benchmark, and is currently the third-highest grossing Hong Kong film of all time.
