Chinese Blockbuster 'Ne Zha 2' Overshadows 'Captain America: Brave New World' at Global Box Office

The animated hit 'Ne Zha 2' breaks multiple records while Marvel's latest struggles with mixed reviews and lower-than-expected earnings.

'Ne Zha 2,' a Chinese animated film, has become the highest-grossing animation of all time with a global box office of $1.7 billion, surpassing 'Inside Out 2.'
The film has also set records as the highest-grossing non-English language film and the first non-English movie to earn over $1 billion worldwide.
In contrast, 'Captain America: Brave New World' has grossed $198.6 million globally so far, with projections suggesting it may reach $275-280 million by the end of the weekend.
The Marvel film has received a lukewarm reception, with a 49% Rotten Tomatoes score and a B- CinemaScore, marking one of the lowest ratings in MCU history.
Chinese audiences have rallied behind 'Ne Zha 2,' with some expressing disdain for 'Captain America 4,' citing national pride and broader cultural sentiments.
