BEIJING, March 1 (Xinhua) — Chinese record-breaking animated film “Ne Zha 2” is now ranked 7th on the all-time global box office chart, with its total box office revenue surpassing that of “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” according to ticketing platforms on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This movie entered the list of the top 10 highest-grossing films of all time globally on Feb. 17, the 20th day after its release on Jan. 29, which was during the 2025 Chinese New Year festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of 1:50 p.m. on Saturday, the global earnings of “Ne Zha 2,” including presales, had exceeded 14.2 billion yuan (about 1.98 billion U.S. dollars), according to data from ticketing platform Maoyan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This milestone adds to an impressive list of achievements. “Ne Zha 2” had already become the first film to gross over 1 billion U.S. dollars in a single market, and the first non-Hollywood film to enter the coveted billion-dollar club. It also dethroned Disney’s 2024 picture “Inside Out 2” to become the highest-grossing animated movie of all time globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ne Zha 2” is a sequel to the 2019 animated box office hit “Ne Zha.” Inspired by a Chinese mythological figure with the same name, the film has captivated audiences via its rich storytelling and jaw-dropping visuals, while featuring themes of defiance, fate and self-confidence, which resonate universally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
