Chinese phenomenon Ne Zha 2 continues to reach new heights.

The Ne Zha 2 total in China through Sunday, according to Maoyan, is a little over RMB 14.86B ($2.054B using today’s exchange rate). Adding grosses in excess of $31M from markets outside China, and the global total rises to more than $2.085B.

The score moves up the animated sequel to become the 5th highest-grossing movie ever worldwide, ranking just above "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" ($2.071B) on the all-time global chart.

In China alone, Maoyan is projecting that NZ2 will final at RMB 15.2B ($2.1B).

The follow-up rollout continues in Indonesia on March 21 while several European releases are ahead as well as Japan.

In Imax, the running global cume is $155M — the 6th biggest Imax release ever. Of that, $151.6M is from China.

In the UK, Imax screens repped 35% of the previews launch this weekend, giving NZ2 the biggest local-language opening for the format in the market.

Earlier records set by the film from director Jiaozi include becoming the highest-grossing movie ever in a single market worldwide, the first movie ever to cross $1B in a single market and the first non-Hollywood movie to join the billion-dollar club.
