Chinese Behemoth 'Ne Zha 2' Soars Past Landmark Films at Global Box Office

Defying all expectations, the Chinese blockbuster Ne Zha 2 broke several new records in its second weekend of release. The animated sequel has been released in its home country and rolled out in international markets, including North America.

Ne Zha 2 has already established itself as one of the highest-grossing animated movies in history, even before its launch in overseas territories. It recently passed the $1 billion mark, becoming only the 13th animated film in history, and the first-ever Chinese film, to do so.

As of Sunday, the film's cumulative collections in China stand at $1.1 billion. Ne Zha 2 overtook The Battle of Lake Changjin to become the highest-grossing Chinese film of all time, after having overtaken the first Ne Zha's $742 million global haul. It's also the first film in history to pass the $1 billion mark in a single country, having overtaken Star Wars: Episode

VI - The Force Awakens' $936 million North American haul from around a decade ago.
