The Chinese animated blockbuster Ne Zha 2 has stormed into the top 10 highest-grossing films of all time worldwide, proving the unstoppable rise of Asian storytelling. 🔥 According to Comscore, the film raked in $7.21 million during its opening weekend in North America alone, securing a spot among Hollywood giants in the box office top five.
Sheila Sofian, a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, called the film 'a triumph of animation' and hinted at potential Oscar buzz: 'I’d love to see it compete next year.' 🏆 The success builds on the original Ne Zha’s 2019 breakout, which became China’s first animated hit to surpass $700 million globally.
The sequel’s cross-cultural appeal—mixing ancient mythology with cutting-edge visuals—has resonated from Shanghai to Los Angeles. 🌍 With its record-breaking run, Ne Zha 2 cements China’s growing influence in global cinema and sets the stage for more boundary-pushing collaborations.
