‘Ne Zha 2’ Torches Box Office Records, Becomes Highest-Grossing Chinese Film Ever


'Ne Zha 2' has ascended to the pinnacle of the Chinese box office, becoming the highest-grossing film in the country's history.

The record run also puts “Ne Zha 2” in position to topple the $936.7 million haul of “Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens” in North America, setting the stage for it to become the biggest single-market box office champion of all time. Directed by Jiaozi (Yu Yang), and produced by Enlight Pictures, “Ne Zha 2” continues the saga of the mythical boy with extraordinary powers, a narrative that first enchanted viewers in the 2019 original. The sequel’s success underscores the growing prowess of China ‘s animation industry and its ability to produce content that resonates deeply with both domestic and potentially international audiences.
