BEIJING — A Chinese animated film about a mythical child with a punk attitude and superpowers has become China’s highest-grossing movie of all time, stoking national pride and potentially setting more records as it premieres overseas. “Ne Zha 2” has earned almost almost $1.3 billion in the two weeks since it was released in mainland China, according to the Chinese ticketing platform Maoyan.
5 billion yuan during the eight-day Lunar New Year holiday, according to Maoyan, in a bright spot for Chinese officials struggling to boost consumer spending amid an economic slump. “Ne Zha 2” quickly eclipsed China’s previous highest-grossing film, 2021’s “The Battle of Lake Changjin,” a Korean War drama typical of the patriotic epics that have dominated the Chinese box office in recent years.
