A24 Brings Ne Zha II to U.S. IMAX After $2.2 Billion Run

Critics urge big-screen viewing for its audacious visuals ahead of an English-dubbed Aug. 22 rollout led by Michelle Yeoh.

Overview

  • The film has grossed about $2.2 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing non-English release and placing it among the top five films of all time.
  • A24 begins a North American theatrical rollout on August 22 with IMAX and 3D presentations alongside an English-language dub.
  • Michelle Yeoh headlines the U.S. voice cast with Crystal Lee and Aleks Le, part of a localization aimed at expanding accessibility.
  • Early U.S. reviews laud breathtaking visuals and kinetic action, note sharp tonal swings and a lengthy 144-minute runtime, and recommend premium large-format screens.
  • Box-office watchers say an additional roughly $60–65 million from the U.S. run could push the film past Titanic on the all-time chart.
