‘Ne Zha 2’ Breaks $2 Billion, Challenging Western Box Office Dominance
《哪吒2》票房突破20亿美元，打破西方主导地位
When Kung Fu Panda smashed box office records in 2008, it sparked controversy in China. Nationalists were upset that a hit film showcasing Chinese culture was made by Americans, with some even calling for a government ban.
2008年《功夫熊猫》在票房上大获成功，曾在中国引发巨大反响。民族主义者为此愤愤不平，认为一部以 中国文化 为卖点的电影竟然是由 美国人 制作的，甚至有人呼吁政府 封禁。
However, the success of DreamWorks’ film inspired China’s film industry. Years of industrialization and effort have paid off — culminating in “Ne Zha 2” becoming the highest-grossing animated film of all time.
但《功夫熊猫》的成功，反而激励了中国动画产业的发展。但经过多年的努力，中国终于收获了世界级的荣誉——《哪吒2》成为全球最高票房的动画电影。
On Monday, the sequel’s ticket sales surpassed $2 billion, and by Friday, after 38 days in theaters, the total reached $2.015 billion (according to ticketing platform Maoyan). This makes “Ne Zha 2” the first non-Hollywood film to hit the multibillion-dollar mark globally, signaling that Western dominance in China’s market is fading.
截至周一，这部开创性的续集票房已突破 20亿美元，到上映第38天（周五），票房总额达到 20.15亿美元（数据来自票务平台猫眼）。这使《哪吒2》成为首部突破全球20亿美元票房的非好莱坞影片，表明 西方在中国市场的主导地位已不复存在。
However, industry insiders warn that despite Ne Zha 2’s remarkable success, it’s still too early to expect Chinese studios to consistently deliver this level of box office triumph.
然而，业内人士和分析师警告称，尽管《哪吒2》表现惊人，但要期待国内电影公司持续产出这种级别的票房奇迹，可能还为时尚早。
