“Ne Zha 2,” the animated sensation sweeping the Chinese mainland, has surpassed “Avengers: Endgame” to become the second highest-grossing film ever in a single market worldwide.
By Thursday night, the mythological epic had amassed over 6.22 billion yuan (approximately $850 million) at the domestic box office, overtaking the Marvel blockbuster’s North American earnings.
This achievement comes just hours after “Ne Zha 2” eclipsed “The Battle at Lake Changjin” to claim the title of the highest-grossing film in the Chinese mainland.
Industry analysts are buzzing as ticketing platform Maoyan projects the film’s domestic total could reach an astounding 10.85 billion yuan. If these projections hold true, “Ne Zha 2” is poised to surpass “Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens,” which earned $936 million in North America, solidifying its place as the top-grossing film in a single market globally.
Based on a beloved character from Chinese mythology, “Ne Zha 2” continues to captivate audiences with its stunning animation and compelling storytelling. The film’s success highlights the growing influence of the Chinese film industry on the global stage.
