Summary

Ne Zha 2 is now the highest-grossing animated film globally at $2.07 billion.
It is also the highest-grossing non-English language movie ever.
Ne Zha 2 surpasses Star Wars: The Force Awakens in box office earnings.

When Frozen 2 made $1.45 billion at the box office in 2019, it seemed like that record as the highest grossing animated film would endure for a very long time. But in recent years, we've seen extremes at both ends of the box office scale, with major studio films clearing one billion as regularly as they flop. However, it's not Disney nor any other Western power♋house that has dethroned Frozen 2, but Chinese production company Beijing Enlig♊ht Pictures.

This success comes via Ne Zha 2, which opens in Euope this week, having arrived in the US last🔯 month. It is already not only the highest grossing animated movie of all time, but the highest grossing non-English language movie 🧸too - and it's not done yet.

Star Wars Slips Down The All Time Box Office List

Ne Zha 2 currently sits at $2.07 billion, which places it fifth on the all-time list behind Titanic, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Avatar: The Way of Water, Avengers: Endgame, and Avatar, with the latter being nearly a billion ahead of Ne Zha 2 on $2.9 billion. Most of Ne Zha 2's gross came in China, with only $20 million of the box office coming from the USA. That means its European releasꦇe is unlikely to add the $200 million it would need to catch Titantic in fourth, but that hasn't stopped Ne Zha 2 from claiming a🧸n impressive scalp.

As per Collider, its , making it the first time i n a decade that Star Wars has not been in the top ꦍfive. Of course, at one time Star Wars sat at the very top of the list, taking the title from Jaws in 1978 with the first Star Wars movie, before Steven Spielberg reclaimed the top spot in 1983 with ET: The Extra Terrestrial, and then overtook himself in 1993 with Jurassic Park.

Ne Zha 2 will see its place in the top five challenged later this year when Avatar: Fire and Ash releases, while both Frozen and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:got ⛄close to Frozen 2 at $1.36 billion will return with sequels that chalꩵlenge 🐓Ne Zha 2 for animated supremacy in the near future.
