(250315) -- BEIJING, March 15, 2025 (Xinhua) -- People walk past a poster of the Chinese animated film Ne Zha 2 at a cinema in Haidian District of Beijing, capital of China, March 15, 2025. Chinese animated blockbuster "Ne Zha 2" has soared past Disney's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" to claim the fifth spot on the all-time global box office charts, further solidifying its status as both a cultural and commercial phenomenon.

According to data from ticketing platform Maoyan as of Saturday, the film's global earnings -- including presales -- have surpassed 15.019 billion yuan (about 2.09 billion U.S. dollars), a milestone reached just 45 days after its release during the Chinese New Year on Jan. 29.

This latest feat adds to an impressive list of records for the film, which became the first film to gross 1 billion U.S. dollars in a single market, the first non-Hollywood title to enter the billion-dollar club, and the highest-grossing animated movie of all time worldwide. (Xinhua/Chen Yehua)
