Box Office: 'Ne Zha 2' Becomes The First Animated Movie To Hit $2 Billion Worldwide
The fantasy adventure has taken just 33 days since its release in China on January 29 to hit the $2 billion mark, joining six other films in this prestigious box office club. Of $2 billion, the sequel has grossed $1.96 billion in China alone which is already the biggest total ever in a single market.
In its box office journey so far, Ne Zha 2 has consistently delivered the biggest single-day collections of all time. Made on a budget of $80 million, the film is showing no sign of slowing down and is very much on course to break more records in days to come.
Ne Zha 2 is certain to finish among the top 5 biggest grossers in the worldwide box office history. It will next outgross Avengers: Infinity War ($2.04 billion) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($2.06 billion) in the next few days, and then, will need to see how far it can go.
As said, Ne Zha 2 is only the seventh film to cross the $2 billion mark globally. After overtaking Infinity War and The Force Awakens, it will trail only Titanic ($2.2 billion), Avatar: The Way of Water ($2.3 billion), Avengers: Endgame ($2.7 billion), and Avatar ($2.9 billion) on the all-time chart.
