Ne Zha 2continues to shatter any kind of expectations the Chinese animated sequel had since its debut in early 2025. Not only is it the highest-grossing animated movie of all time, but it is well on its way to competing against the top of the list, including Avatar and Avengers: Endgame. The record-breaking feature has been a hit with Chinese and global audiences, especially on the highly-coveted large screen format that dominates modern blockbuster filmmaking. And yes, a Best Picture nominee and 2024 blockbuster favorite is the latest box office victim.
