Chinese animated blockbuster "Ne Zha 2" is expected to surpass 100 million U.S. dollars in overseas box office, setting a new high for Chinese films going abroad in the past 20 years, chairman of its major producer Enlight Media said on Sunday during the ongoing 27th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF).
"Ne Zha 2," released in January this year, has become a global success, captivating audiences worldwide with its unique take on Chinese mythology and visually stunning animation. It is a sequel to the 2019 animated hit "Ne Zha."
Wang Changtian, chairman of Beijing Enlight Media - also the film's major investor, said, "We now expect the final overseas box office to exceed 100 million U.S. dollars, making it the highest in the past 20 years. This means that after two decades, we have a new opportunity to re-enter the international market with purely domestic Chinese films."
Since its release on January 29, 2025, "Ne Zha 2" has grossed over 15.8 billion yuan (about 2.2 billion U.S. dollars).
The Chinese version with English subtitles has been distributed in regions such as Asia, North America, Europe, and Oceania. At the same time, the English dubbed version will also see a secondary overseas release.
In merchandise sales, the "Ne Zha" series has generated hundreds of billions of yuan so far, providing significant benefits across development, production, and sales.
Wang predicted that merchandise sales are highly likely to achieve over 100 billion yuan.
