China's animated sensation Ne Zha 2 is rewriting Hollywood's playbook, raking in a jaw-dropping $2.18 billion worldwide as of May 5 🚀. The fiery red-haired hero now ranks as the fifth highest-grossing film in history, breathing down the neck of Titanic with just $8.3 million separating them 💸.
Produced by Beijing's Cocoa Beans Animation, this myth-inspired adventure beat 2023's biggest superhero flicks to claim its throne. Only Cameron's Avatar series and Marvel's Endgame remain unconquered – for now. 🎬
Fun fact: If Ne Zha's box office earnings were physical cash, it would create a tower 63x taller than Burj Khalifa! 🏙️ The film's virality on TikTok (#NeZhaDanceChallenge) proves ancient legends can still slay in the Gen Z era.
