Chinese Film Nezha 2 Becomes Highest-grossing
Animated Film Globally
Beijing, 18 Feb (ONA) — Chinese
animated blockbuster Nezha 2 overtook Pixar’s Inside Out 2 on Tuesday to become
the highest-grossing animated film globally, according to data from ticketing
platform Maoyan.
Nezha 2 has amassed a total box
office of 12.3 billion yuan ($1.69 billion) including pre-sales and overseas
earnings, making it the eighth highest box office film globally.
Over 99% of Nezha 2’s box office
income has come from mainland China, starkly in contrast to Hollywood films,
which typically rely on a more global distribution strategy.
Nezha 2 is a sequel to the 2019 hit
Nezha. The film is based on a 16th century Chinese novel “The Investiture
of the Gods”, depicting a hero boy with magic power who tried to defend
Chentangguan, a fortress town.
Directed by Sichuan-born director
Yang Yu, also known as Jiaozi, the film propelled the 2025 Lunar New Year box
office in the country to an all-time high.
