Ne Zha 2 Breaks Records to Become Highest-Grossing Animated Film in History

The realm of animated movies is experiencing a remarkable shift with the rise of Ne Zha 2, a sequel from China that is breaking records and expectations. This animated feature has quickly gained traction, particularly within its home market, and is on a path toward becoming a historic box office success.

Ne Zha 2 has recently outperformed Inside Out 2, propelling itself to the status of the highest-grossing animated film in history. Despite having primarily screened in China and being in theaters for just a month, its financial success has been impressive. The film is now nearing the milestone of becoming the seventh highest-grossing film ever by surpassing Spider-Man: No Way Home.

As reported, Ne Zha 2's earnings have soared to over $1.92 billion globally, with a staggering $1.89 billion stemming from China alone. This figure places it on the verge of dethroning Spider-Man: No Way Home, which has a final box office take of $1.95 billion as noted from Box Office Mojo.

With its current performance, there is a strong possibility that Ne Zha 2 will soon surpass the $2 billion mark, a feat that would make it the first animated film to achieve this. Furthermore, it is also expected to enter the five most outstanding movies ever made, needing just an additional $150 million to surpass Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens. This cinematic installment movie's ability to reach even greater heights and challenge iconic films by James Cameron and the last Avengers installment is still unknown.
