Chinese Animated Film 'Ne Zha 2' Breaks Box Office Records, Achieves Global Recognition

'Ne Zha 2' reaches 7th place on all-time global box office chart, surpassing 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' with total earnings exceeding 14.2 billion yuan.
The animated film 'Ne Zha 2' has achieved significant milestones in global cinema, now holding the 7th position on the all-time box office chart.

As of March 1, 2025, the film's total revenue has surpassed 14.2 billion yuan, approximately 1.98 billion U.S. dollars, according to ticketing data.

'Ne Zha 2' entered the top 10 highest-grossing films globally on February 17, just 20 days after its theatrical release on January 29, coinciding with the Chinese New Year celebrations.

This sequel to the 2019 box office success 'Ne Zha' has made history as the first film to gross over 1 billion U.S. dollars in a single market and the first non-Hollywood animated film to enter the billion-dollar club.

The film has also surpassed Disney's 'Inside Out 2' to become the highest-grossing animated movie globally.

Inspired by a figure from Chinese mythology, 'Ne Zha 2' has resonated with audiences, showcasing a blend of rich storytelling and advanced visual technology.

Themes of defiance, fate, and self-confidence are central to the film's narrative, appealing to both domestic and international viewers.

The film's success underscores the growing influence of Chinese cinema on the global stage.
