Hold onto your popcorn! 🍿 The animated hit Ne Zha 2 is taking the world by storm, with tickets selling out faster than K-pop concert seats. From New York to Sydney, fans are flooding cinemas to catch this visually stunning Chinese blockbuster—and Hollywood is taking notes.
IMAX screens? Sold out. Midnight showings? Packed. AMC theaters in the U.S. scrambled to add extra screenings after social media blew up with FOMO-fueled posts. 🌟 'Even in limited screenings, attendance is crazy,' says film critic Jiang Xiangxiang, a Columbia University student. 'People here can’t believe it took just five years to create something this epic.'
Back in the Chinese mainland, the film has already raked in 9.2 billion yuan ($1.3B) and drawn 187 million viewers—smashing records as the first non-Hollywood film to crack the global top 5 animated movies. 🏆 With 1,900+ VFX shots and collaboration from 138 animation studios, it’s a triumph of creativity.
As Ne Zha 2 expands to Australia, New Zealand, and North America this week, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun hailed it as a 'new bridge for cultural exchange.' 🌉 Whether you’re here for the dragon-slaying action or the heartwarming story, one thing’s clear: Chinese animation just leveled up. 🐉✨
