You may not be familiar with it, but Ne Zha 2 isn’t just the highest-grossing film of the year; it’s one of the biggest movies ever made. In China alone, the sequel smashed one box office record after another during its initial release.

The sequel to “Ne Zha,” titled “Ne Zha 2,” was a massive hit at Chinese box offices during its debut and sustained this success with international screenings. Now, it’s set to captivate American audiences as A24 collaborates with CMC Pictures to present an English-dubbed version of the film in U.S. cinemas. The movie is scheduled to premiere later in August, and a fresh trailer for its English release has been unveiled. You can watch it below.

When Does Ne Zha 2 Come Out in the U.S.?

Movies akin to Disney’s live-action remake of “Lilo & Stitch” have had significant success, earning over a billion dollars at the box office in 2022 alone. However, the film “Ne Zha 2” has outperformed it significantly. Currently ranking as the fifth highest grossing movie of all time, it has amassed an impressive $2.2 billion USD.

It has even outperformed films like “Star Wars” and other “Avengers” movies to achieve this significant box office milestone.

What Is Ne Zha 2?

The sequel to “Ne Zha,” released in 2019, has been a significant triumph for China, especially given it’s a sequel. This film, written and directed by Yang Yu, is an adaptation of “The Investiture of the Gods,” a collection of stories from the Ming dynasty. The U.S. release of “Ne Zha 2” could potentially surpass the earnings of Titanic in the future, making it a film to watch for fans. This unexpected box office success underscores the impact of an exceptional animated movie and offers a promising sign for what’s to come.

Regarding its plot, the sequel “Ne Zha 2” was initially hinted at for its release in China as follows: “Following the heavenly lightning, Ne Zha and Ao Bing managed to survive by transforming into Spirits.
