Hits The $2 Billion Milestone, Becoming The First Animation To Achieve This Marvelous Feat!
The Oscar fever is subsiding as the winners’ names are out, and people are celebrating their favorite stars’ wins. Meanwhile, Ne Zha 2 achieved something unbelievable as it surpassed a massive global milestone. It has created history with its worldwide box office collection. The film will seemingly surpass Avengers: Infinity War. Scroll below for the deets.
The movie’s characters and storylines are inspired by those in The Investiture of the Gods, a 16th-century Chinese novel with a series of folklore myths and legends. Joseph Cao and Mo Han voice the lead characters, Ne Zha and Ao Bing. Overall, the Ne Zha sequel is the highest-grossing film of 2025 and might only be beaten by James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash, which is scheduled to be released in December this year.
According to Luiz Fernando’s report, Ne Zha 2 collected $19.5 million on Sunday across 216K screenings. It lost 3k screenings from Saturday, but despite that, the film collected the biggest fifth Sunday in a single market ever. The film experienced a decline -59.6% from last Sunday. Therefore, the movie has collected $1.96 billion in China alone in just 33 days. The Chinese feature earned $510K in pre-sales for the fifth Monday.
It is playing over 185K screenings, losing 31K from yesterday, which is a big number. However, it still seems unlikely that the Ne Zha sequel will be thwarted by that. The movie has hit the $2 billion mark worldwide and has collected $16.18 million at the box office in North America.
Ne Zha 2 can potentially hit the $2.5 billion mark worldwide. It is also the first non-English language film to gross over $1 billion. The film will potentially cross the worldwide haul of Avengers: Infinity War. It collected $2.05 billion at the worldwide box office, which is like a child’s play for Ne Zha 2 to achieve this momentum.
Ne Zha 2 was released in the theatres in China on January 29 and continues its extraordinary run at the cinemas.
