The reign of Pixar will have been short -lived. Six months after the release of Vice-Versa 2 – Following the long -awaited suite of the adventures of Riley and his emotions – the leaping lamp gives way to the leader of animation cinema to a competitor to say the least. As a reminder, Kelsey Mann’s film had exceeded the already astronomical results of The Snow Queen 2 Released in 2019. With $ 1.69 billion generated, Vice-Versa 2 a priori had to be on the highest step of the podium for a few weeks. If the exits of Zootopia 2 or Toy Story 5 could have put his sovereignty in play, Pixar probably did not expect his opponent from coming from China. No cannibalization between Mickey and its subsidiary, which sees the title Ne zha 2 Choose first place.
Released a few weeks ago in China, the film directed by Yu Yang has just exceeded $ 1.7 billion in revenue. A performance all the more impressive as it is simply achieved thanks to the enthusiasm of its original market. At a time when we write these lines, Ne zha 2 is even The eighth most profitable film in the worldexcluding inflation, apart from animation. He’s just behind Spider-Man : No Way Home And its $ 1.95 billion, it is the first non -Hollywood film to join the closed circle of billionaires. But the most beautiful feat of this unsuspected phenomenon is still to be confirmed, if the film exceeds two billion dollars in Chinese territory. He would become the first film to succeed in such a tour de force.
Note that the benefits generated in the United States are currently quite moderate, the film has just investing North American rooms. It is only proposed on 600 screens through the territory, allowing him to reach the $ 7.3 million in revenue. As a comparison, it is only half less than Paddington 3for a significantly higher number of rooms (3,890).
And in France?
For the time being, an arrival on the French market is not promised. No distributor has made his interest in seizing the phenomena. We can still imagine that the reputation of the fantastic film pushes local actors to look at the question. Its history, although very linked to Chinese mythology, is likely to bring together many spectators. Ne zha 2like his predecessor, draws his inspiration from a Chinese novel from the 16th century baptized Investiture of the gods. If it is not a literal adaptation, the film seizes a very famous deity in China and whose route has already been detailed in 2019 in the first film.
