By the Numbers: anime and donghua at the global box office

Ne Zha 2 ranks #1 among the world's highest-grossing animated films at RMB 16.4 billion (the only anime or donghua title in the global animated top 10). Figures are cumulative worldwide gross in RMB.

Why it matters: Theatrical gross is the hardest read on which anime and donghua IP has mass commercial pull, and that pull is what drives the licensing bids, sequels, and merchandise programs operators plan around, especially as Chinese animation scales globally.
