China's 'Ne Zha 2' Is Coming For James Cameron's Global Box Office Claim

China’s box office behemoth, the animated film Ne Zha 2, passed what could be its final global box office recently. The movie broke pretty much every record that it possibly could have, and then some. During the course of its phenomenal run, Ne Zha 2 emerged as the highest-grossing animated movie of all time, the biggest film of 2025, and the most successful Chinese-language hit ever made. Having firmly established itself among the five biggest films of all time, Ne Zha 2 is poised to conclude its theatrical run in a few weeks. But the movie only recently began to be rolled out in international markets, earning more in countries where it wouldn’t normally have even been released.
