What happens

Table for Six 2 (Chinese: 飯戲攻心2) is a 2024 Hong Kong comedy film directed and written by Sunny Chan. The film is a sequel to Table for Six (2022), with Stephy Tang, Louis Cheung, Ivana Wong, Lin Min Chen, and Peter Chan reprising their roles, though Dayo Wong, the lead actor from the first film, does not return for undisclosed reasons. It is set two years after the first film, and revolves around three wedding banquets for the Chan family, as the members navigate the meaning of love and family bonding in the absence of their eldest brother (Dayo Wong). Following the commercial success of Table for Six, Sunny Chan began preparing for the sequel before the first film's theatrical run ended and started developing the screenplay in February 2023. Principal photography took place under wraps in Hong Kong starting in July, with Edko Films publicly announcing the production in October. The film features a theme song "I Love You So Much", composed and performed by lead actress Ivana Wong with lyrics written by Chan. The film was theatrically released in Hong Kong on 9 February 2024, as a Chinese New Year film for the Year of Dragon. It became the highest-grossing 2024 Hong Kong New Year film, as well as the fourth highest-grossing 2024 Hong Kong film overall for the year. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
