With over $2 billion in global box office revenue, it has become the most profitable animated film in history, surpassing blockbusters like <em>Inside Out 2<\/em> and <em>Frozen II<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the record-breaking doesn\u2019t stop there. <em>Nezha 2<\/em> has also made history as the first non-Hollywood feature to break into the Top 10 highest-grossing films of all time, securing fifth place\u2014behind <em>Titanic<\/em> and ahead of <em>Star Wars: Episode VII<\/em>. It\u2019s an unprecedented achievement for an Asian production and a clear sign of the Chinese film industry\u2019s meteoric rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by the classic 16th-century Chinese novel <em>The Investiture of the Gods<\/em>, <em>Nezha 2<\/em> tells the story of a demon child raised by humans who forges an alliance with a dragon prince to fight an epic battle in defense of their clan. It\u2019s a tale that blends tradition and modernity, powered by a strong mythological core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond its compelling storyline, the film\u2019s technical quality is a standout. A total of 138 Chinese animation studios collaborated over five and a half years to produce this visually stunning feature. With a final budget of $80 million\u2014less than half the estimated $200 million spent on <em>Inside Out 2<\/em>\u2014the film is both an artistic and industrial triumph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Late but Highly Anticipated Arrival in France<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ironically, the original <em>Nezha<\/em>\u2014released in China in 2019\u2014was never distributed in France, neither in theaters nor on streaming platforms.
