Chinese animated movie Ne Zha 2 is continuing to take the box office by storm – and it could even topple a James Cameron classic from the all-time highest-grossing movies chart.
So far, the movie has made over $2.1 billion at the global box office and recently overtook Star Wars: The Force Awakens to become the fifth highest-grossing movie of all time. That means it could easily go on to beat the fourth highest-grossing movie of all time, Titanic, which has made $2.25 billion since it was released back in 1997.
If the film beats Titanic, it will only have Avatar: The Way of Water, Avengers: Endgame, and Avatar between it and the top spot, which is quite an achievement considering Ne Zha 2 was only released in China on January 29, 2025. A North American release followed on February 14, before the movie expanded to the UK on March 14.
