Ne Zha 2 Breaks Records, Enters Global Box Office Top 6

The Chinese animated hit Ne Zha 2 has officially stormed into the global box office elite, raking in 14.883 billion yuan (≈$2.06 billion) to claim the No. 6 spot worldwide. The film’s explosive success—fueled by pre-sales, domestic screenings, and international ticket sales—has now dethroned Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War (2018), proving the rising global appeal of Chinese storytelling.

The fantasy epic, a modern reimagining of ancient Chinese mythology, combines stunning visuals and family-friendly themes. Its climb reflects growing international appetite for non-Hollywood blockbusters.

For context: Only five films now stand above Ne Zha 2—including Avatar, Avengers: Endgame, and Titanic. Analysts say the achievement highlights the expansion of China’s animation industry and cross-cultural resonance of localized stories.

Could this signal a new era for global film rankings? One thing’s clear: The world is watching.
