One movie has significantly outperformed all others in theaters worldwide this year, and now it’s coming to streaming! While 2025 has seen a few box office successes, only two films have earned over a billion dollars. One of those films achieved that milestone largely thanks to its popularity in China, and now even more people will have the opportunity to watch it.
Ne Zha 2 has become the year’s biggest hit, earning almost $2 billion worldwide, largely thanks to its popularity in China. While it had some international showings earlier in the year, it’s expected to reach an even wider audience now that it will be available to stream on HBO Max starting December 24th. Get ready to experience what is, without a doubt, the biggest movie of 2025!
Ne Zha 2 Is 2025’s Biggest Box Office Success
Even though many fans outside of China might not know it, Ne Zha 2 has become the year’s biggest box office hit, surpassing films like The Minecraft Movie and Jurassic World: Rebirth. It’s a follow-up to a very popular Chinese movie, and now there’s a convenient way to catch up! As a special treat before the new movie comes out, the original Ne Zha will be available to stream on HBO Max starting December 1st. This gives you time to learn the story and enjoy the world of Ne Zha before the sequel arrives during the holidays.
Yang Yu wrote and directed Ne Zha 2, which continues the story based on The Investiture of the Gods – a famous series of tales from China’s Ming dynasty. While the film wasn’t as popular with international audiences as it was in China, its huge success there highlights the importance of the Chinese film market. Though films like Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle have found some success, Ne Zha 2 has clearly reached a much wider audience.
What Is Ne Zha 2 a Big Deal?
A24 and CMC Pictures teamed up for the first time to bring the animated film Ne Zha 2 to U.S. audiences, including an official English dub. Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh voiced a character in the dub and expressed her excitement about sharing this significant Chinese animated film with a wider audience. She believes its universal story, artistry, and magic will resonate with viewers. The film will likely be available on HBO Max this December.
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why this movie has become so popular in China – you really have to experience it yourself. It’s one of the most detailed and ambitious animated films of the year, which is saying a lot considering how high the standard for animated movies has become recently. Thankfully, audiences will be able to watch it online during the holidays.
