China Box Office: 'Ne Zha 2' Leads Massive Chinese New Year Surge to $1.2 Billion as Imax Breaks Records

From: VARIETY

The Chinese box office experienced a massive boost over the Chinese New Year holiday, with five major releases propelling weekend earnings to $536.9 million, according to Artisan Gateway.

The five-day holiday frame delivered a cumulative total of $1.24 billion for 2025, marking a 234.1% increase from the same period last year, driven by strong debuts and record-setting performances in Imax.

Enlight Pictures' “Ne Zha 2” led the charge, opening to RMB2.16 billion ($300 million) in its two-day debut. The sequel to the 2019 animated hit follows the mythological hero in a new fantasy adventure, continuing the franchise's dominance at the Chinese box office. Its cumulative gross has already reached $434.2 million, making it the undisputed leader of the holiday period.

The five-day opening for “Ne Zha 2” sees it sail past the previous record holder “Moana 2,” which had opened with $386.3 million last year. If “Ne Zha 2” maintains its trajectory, it is on track to become the highest-grossing Chinese film of all time, overtaking the $913 million gross of “The Battle at Lake Changjin.” Barring a dramatic slowdown, “Ne Zha 2” also seems set to cross the “Inside Out 2” $653 million record of the highest animated grosser in a single market.

In second place, As One Production's “Detective Chinatown 1900” debuted with $133.9 million, adding another successful entry to the popular crime-comedy franchise. The fourth installment in the series is set in the early 20th century and follows a detective solving a high-stakes case in Shanghai.

Beijing Culture's “Creation of the Gods 2,” the sequel to the 2023 successful fantasy epic, secured third place with a $41.2 million weekend.

“Ne Zha 2,” “Detective Chinatown 1900” and “Creation of the Gods 2” are also currently the top three films at the international box office, per numbers from Comscore.

Fantawild Animation's “Boonie Bears: Future Reborn” ranked fourth with $26.8 million. The long-running animated franchise remains a Chinese New Year staple, consistently attracting family audiences. The film has now reached $57.9 million in total earnings.

Rounding out the top five, China Film's “Legends of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants” debuted with $21.3 million. Tsui Hark's martial arts epic, based on the classic Jin Yong novel, also saw strong support from Imax screenings, earning $3.5 million. The film's cumulative total stands at $75.4 million.

“Blockbusters are back in China, in a bigger way than even the most optimistic among us could've imagined,” said Rich Gelfond, CEO of Imax. “These early, historic Chinese New Year results indicate that softness in the Chinese box office last year was a result of supply, not demand — and that the tentpole-heavy local language slate ahead for 2025 is very well positioned for success.”
