Ne Zha 2 became the highest-grossing Chinese and non-English film of all time (surpassing The Battle at Lake Changjin (2021)). It also became the highest-grossing film of all time in a single market (surpassing Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)) and became the first non-Hollywood production to join the billion dollar club (57th overall).
The first international film to reach $1 billion and $2 billion at the box office.
When asked why Shen Gongbao is portrayed as a stutterer, Director Yu Yang explains: "He is deeply affected by the discrimination from his master and fellow disciples. Feeling frustrated and lacking confidence, he essentially becomes a stutterer."
Ne Zha 2 became the highest grossing animated film worldwide (surpassing Inside Out 2).
This film marks Yu Yang (aka Jiaozi)'s second animated feature as director. On February 15, 2025, he officially becomes the highest-grossing director in Chinese film history, thanks to the combined box office success of his two "Ne Zha" animations.
