Ne Zha 2, a new animated film from China, has taken the world by storm, racking up an incredible $1.7 billion in box office sales. It recently surpassed Pixar’s Inside Out 2 to become the highest-grossing animated movie of all time.
Released in January, Ne Zha 2 quickly broke records in China. It made history as the first film to earn over $1 billion at the box office within a single market. What’s even more impressive is that it’s the first non-Hollywood movie to achieve this milestone.
As of mid-February, Ne Zha 2 has grossed ¥12.47 billion (about $1.72 billion) in China since its debut on January 29. This puts it ahead of Inside Out 2 and ranks it as the eighth highest-grossing film overall, even surpassing major hits like Top Gun: Maverick and The Avengers.
Based on the 16th-century Chinese novel Investiture of the Gods, this animated sequel has captured the hearts of audiences. If it continues its successful run and reaches $2 billion, it will not only make history as the first film to do so in a single market, but it will also join an elite group of only seven films worldwide that have crossed this monumental figure.
Thanks to its popularity, Ne Zha 2 will remain in theaters in China until March 30. And good news for fans in Hong Kong: the movie is set to release there soon. This film’s impressive journey is just beginning, and many are eagerly watching as it continues to break records.
