Hey movie buffs! 🎥 China just made cinematic history during the 2025 Chinese New Year! The box office revenue soared past a staggering 10 billion yuan (nearly $1.4 billion), outshining North America and securing the top spot in global box office rankings! 🌍✨
By 3:30 p.m. on Monday, the Spring Festival period alone raked in over 8 billion yuan (over $1.1 billion), smashing previous records according to the National Film Administration. 📈🔥
Leading this phenomenal success is the animated blockbuster Ne Zha 2. 🐲🎬 This sequel didn't just beat last year's champion, Yolo—it shattered over ten national box office records and is set to become the highest-grossing film in China's cinema history! 🏆🥳
Remember back in 2019 when Ne Zha: Birth of the Demon Child (Ne Zha 1) took us by storm with its 5 billion yuan (around $690 million) earnings? Well, Ne Zha 2 is back with an even more gripping storyline and mind-blowing visuals, igniting discussions everywhere. 🔥👀
It's incredible to see how far China's film industry has come. Not too long ago, studios were the unsung heroes behind Hollywood's visual effects.
