“Nezha 2” has become the highest-grossing animated film globally, surpassing “Inside Out 2” with a total box office of 12.3 billion yuan. The majority of the film’s income, over 99%, has come from mainland China, highlighting a stark contrast to Hollywood films that typically rely on a more global distribution strategy. Directed by Yang Yu, also known as Jiaozi, the film is a sequel to the 2019 hit “Nezha” based on a 16th-century Chinese novel. The story follows a hero boy with magic powers defending a fortress town, propelling the 2025 Lunar New Year box office in China to an all-time high.
