China's beloved 'Ne Zha' animation franchise has rewritten cinematic history 🚀, becoming the first Chinese film series to gross a jaw-dropping 20 billion yuan (about $2.79 billion)! 🎉 This mythological warrior isn't just conquering demons on-screen—it’s crushing box office records globally. 🌏
The latest installment, 'Ne Zha 2', roared to 15.3 billion yuan as of Sunday, while its 2019 predecessor remains a heavyweight with 5.035 billion yuan. Director Yang Yu now stands as China’s first filmmaker to helm a 20B-yuan franchise—talk about a flex! 💪
Since its January 29 release during Lunar New Year, 'Ne Zha 2' has been unstoppable: it claimed China’s all-time box office crown in just 9 days and became the world’s highest-grossing animated film by February 18 🏆. Now showing on the Chinese mainland until April 30, the film is also making waves internationally, ranking fifth globally (yes, that includes Hollywood heavyweights! 🍿).
Move over, Hollywood—China’s homegrown animation is here to slay. 🐉
