Ne Zha 2,” a Chinese animated movie, has become an unprecedented smash, racking up $1.9 billion from nearly 80,000 screens after four weeks — and with little help from the world’s largest theatrical market.

Ne Zha 2 beat Inside Out 2 to become the highest grossing animated movie of all time just last week, but it has now broken yet another record.

Notably, Ne Zha 2 has become the highest-grossing animated film in IMAX history, surpassing The Polar Express by a whopping 69%. Despite the continued success of As One Production's Detective Chinatown 1900 and Fantawild Animation's Boonie Bears 11, Ne Zha 2 has left little room for competition.

China’s box office remained firmly in the grip of 'Ne Zha 2,' which continued its extraordinary run, grossing $152.9 million over the weekend.

Based on Luiz Fernando’s report, Ne Zha 2 has become the first animation to enter the top 10 highest-grossing films in IMAX theatres. The movie has accumulated $131 million so far from IMAX theatres. It has become IMAX’s 9th highest-grossing film of all time globally and the first animation to join this glorious list.

China's box office remained strong post-Lunar New Year, with “Ne Zha 2” continuing its historic run. The Enlight release earned RMB1.98 billion ($275.3 million) over the Feb. 14–16 weekend, bringing its total to $1.

The huge demand for products related to the hit Chinese animated movie is proving a boon for China’s e-commerce, manufacturing, and tourism sectors.
