The history of the box office is a little quiet. That is, for anyone living outside China. Chinese animated blockbuster "No Haa 2" was on tears In his home country all year long, the largest 2025 film was globally since early February. Stunning enough, there is a good chance of holding the crown for the rest of the calendar year too. This is because the sequel to director Yu Young has just passed the $ 2 billion brand for just over a month in its theater path.

From Tuesday, March 4, "No Haa 2" raised $ 2 billion globally, Passing "Spider-Man: No Man" in 2021 ($ 1.95 billion) Of all time all over the world. It is now just the Seventh Film Ever to Cross the $ 2 Billion Mark, Joining "Avengers: Infinity War" ($ 2.05 billion), "The Force Awakens" ($ 2.07 billion), "Titanic" ($ 2.26 Billion), "Avatar: The Way of Water". ($ 2.32 Billion), "Avengers: Endgame" ($ 2.79 Billion), and "Avatar" ($ 2.92 Billion). When everyone is told and done, "no ha 2" is likely to sit behind the "Titanic" or "Avatar: The Water Road" in the number four or three places.

To do all this even more noticeable, "NO HAA 2" did so by making the vast majority of its money in a country. In mid -February, that Made history by becoming the first film to ever gross at least $ 1 billion in one country. Yes, it is published outside of China, but those numbers are drops of water in the basket, relative. The animated sequel has done a decent business in the United States, bringing $ 18.1 million to this day. But again, it's the fractional percentage of the overall gross of the film. Only China makes the heavy lifting here.

"Avengers: Endgame" still holds the record as the fastest movie that reached $ 2 billion in box office after doing so in just 11 days before becoming the biggest film of all time (Before Avatar returned the crown). "No Haa 2" managed to do so in 33 years, becoming the second fastest.

"No Haa 2" is now the only non-Hollywood movie that has joined the $ 2 billion club. It is also the only animated film that has ever achieved such box office heights after passing Pixar "Inside 2" ($ 1.69 billion) a few weeks ago to become the biggest animated film ever. To say that this film is unexpectedly successful, it would be a dramatic underestimation. Even so, it's not like these Chinese blockbusters get out of nowhere.

China was Having luck with hits at home box office Over the last decade, with likes of Walcott Warrior 2 ($ 870 million), "wandering land" ($ 699 million) and "Battle of Lake Changin" ($ 902 million) that serve as just a few examples. Again, these films made almost all their money from Chinese ticket buyers. The original "NO HAA" ($ 742 million) was also a great success, although the sequel really surpassed its predecessor in shocking fashion. All this to say, it was just a matter of time before China had its "infinite war", so to speak.

This is why Hollywood can no longer depend on Chinese audiences, as the country is giving its own editions priority these days. Even so, this is a very good sign of the health of the global treasurer. Looking forward, we wonder, can something cause "no haa 2" for the crown in 2025? Maybe only "Avatar: Fire and Ashes" by Jameses Cameron when it arrives in December.

"Not Haa 2" is now in cinemas.
