So What Are 2024’s Chinese New Year Movies? (And Where to Find Them)

Outside the Rice Bowl of the World, the number of Chinese New Year movies available to view worldwide are based on what is being offered by Cineplex’s SilverCity Riverport operation in Richmond, BC. That’s because in all my years of tracking films from this market always head to this metroplex than any other operation in my neck of the woods.

True to form, just where these motion pictures get played depends on just how big of a Chinese-Canadian or American population exists per region. Others include Seattle, San Francisco, and New York (to name a few). Strangely, YOLO and Article 20 do not make the list. The good news is that the former will eventually see a hopefully fast release, as Variety broke the news about it being acquired by Sony Pictures.

The following list of works to enjoy are:

The Movie Emporer

Actor Lau Wai-Chi has a huge following and always keeps an eye on his rivals. After agreeing to play the lead in a modest indie drama, Lau must put his pride aside to learn how to be an ordinary farmer.

Pegasus 2

Former champion driver Zhang Chi teaches at a driving school in troubled times, relying on his reputation to make ends meet. A failing automobile factory offers to sponsor Zhang Chi in the last Bayinbrook Rally.

Table for Six 2

Table for Six, reunites the original cast and crew for the most hilarious weddings in 2024! The three couples within the Chan family decide to tie the knot. But the joy of being engaged starts to fade when their intricate relationships make everything harder. Marriage is a dream. A wedding is a war. 3 weddings in a row?

Armageddon. With his unique sense of humour, Sunny Chan once again dives into the complex dynamics of modern society’s men and women, families, and romance.

Time Still Turns the Pages
