Notably, Ne Zha 2 has become the highest-grossing animated film in IMAX history, surpassing The Polar Express by a whopping 69%. Despite the continued success of As One Production's Detective Chinatown 1900 and Fantawild Animation's Boonie Bears 11, Ne Zha 2 has left little room for competition.

Ne Zha 2 has dethroned Pixar's Inside Out 2 as the highest-grossing animated movie of all time, but what is it and how did it make so much money?

Ne Zha 2 features a combat sequence that has to be seen to be believed.

Chinese blockbuster Ne Zha 2 has become the highest-grossing animated movie ever worldwide, topping $1.7B and overtaking Inside Out 2

This stat comes from Deadline, which notes Ne Zha 2 is also rocketing its way up the all-time highest-grossing list; it’s at number eight ( Inside Out 2 now sits at number nine), though it’ll take some doing for any movie to dislodge the James Cameron trio (plus a certain Avengers flick) that currently hold the top four spots.
