The verdict

Audiences rate it 8.2 out of 10 on TMDB across 80 votes — a strong score. It is playing 9 times at 5 cinemas across 5 districts, from HK$140 to HK$170 depending on cinema and time. The cheapest seat is at MOViE MOViE Pacific Place (Admiralty) in Admiralty, HK$140. Premium formats available: IMAX. 97 minutes.

What it is about

On July 27, 1986, Queen performed the largest-ever stadium concert at the Népstadion in Budapest in front of 80,000 ecstatic fans. The concert was part of the famed Magic Tour, which was the last time the band toured with lead singer Freddie Mercury.

What to expect

János Zsombolyai’s movie is a straight-up restoration of the full Budapest set from Queen’s 1986 Magic Tour — the last tour Freddie Mercury did with the band. It runs 97 minutes and plays only in IMAX, which makes sense for a show that pulled 80,000 people into the Népstadion. The footage is from the original shoot, so the look is of its time, and the sound mix leans into the scale of the venue rather than polishing everything into a studio sheen. English subtitles are provided. The audience score sits at 8.2 from 79 votes. For anyone who wants a big-screen, high-volume Queen show without documentary interruptions, it delivers exactly that. Opens in Hong Kong on October 7, 2026.
