Why This Matters 🌏
China's box office power is no longer just a subplot. With Ne Zha 2—a modern twist on ancient mythology—the country's film industry is flexing creative and commercial muscles, proving its stories resonate far beyond borders. Think Marvel meets Chinese folklore, but with even bigger dragons (and profits). 🐉
By the Numbers 📊
6.79 billion yuan ≈ $940 million USD
Surpasses Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936 million in North America)
Pre-sales alone could fund a small moon base 🌙
