Chinese Sensation ‘Ne Zha 2’ Has Just Surpassed ‘The Avengers’ and ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ at the Global Box Office

In merely two weeks since its debut, the film “Ne Zha 2” has already achieved tremendous success. Its international premiere took place last Friday, and with the long Presidents’ Day weekend approaching, it is projected to earn more than $6 million.

To date, it’s smashed all predictions, making it the most successful film of 2025. Not only has it exceeded significant benchmarks, but its momentum shows no signs of abating.

In just 18 days since its release, the Chinese box office earnings for Ne Zha 2 surpassed $1.5 billion, making it the second highest-grossing animated film in history, trailing slightly behind Inside Out 2 with a grand total of approximately $1.7 billion.

On its journey, it surpassed the box office successes of films like Toy Story 3, Shrek 2, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and Frozen II. Remarkably, this was accomplished while the film hadn’t been released anywhere beyond China.

Currently, the sequel to Ne Zha is rapidly approaching a significant achievement: it has surpassed movies like The Avengers, Furious 7, Top Gun: Maverick, and Barbie. This weekend, it’s anticipated to outpace Jurassic World, breaking into the top 10 highest-grossing films of all time. Given its $80 million production budget, Ne Zha 2 is projected to generate at least $2 billion in China, a feat that would make it one of only seven movies to ever achieve such success.

Once all the dust settles, it’s likely that Ne Zha 2 will stand alongside blockbusters like Titanic, Avatar, and their sequels which have surpassed the $2 billion mark worldwide. It may even outshine Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens and Avengers: Infinity War in terms of global box office earnings. As of now, it doesn’t have a Rotten Tomatoes critic score, but its audience rating is an astounding 99%.
