‘Ne Zha 2’ Sets Unprecedented Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score Record
China’s latest animated sensation has just achieved a remarkable milestone on the popular review aggregation platform, Rotten Tomatoes. According to recent reports, ‘Ne Zha 2’ has become the highest audience-scored animated film of the decade, with an astonishing 99% approval rating.
This unprecedented achievement is all the more impressive considering that ‘Ne Zha 2’ has not even been released in major international markets like the US yet. The movie’s massive success in China has already propelled it to the top spot, a position previously held by other notable animated films such as ‘Flow’, ‘The Wild Robot’, and several Oscar-winning titles.
In comparison, some of the most popular and critically acclaimed animated movies have struggled to reach even 97% audience approval on Rotten Tomatoes. Notably, these films include Academy Award winners like ‘Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio’ and ‘Soul’.
While it is unclear how ‘Ne Zha 2’ will perform in the US market when it is eventually released on August 22, its monumental success in China renders this uncertainty almost moot. With a staggering $2.1 billion in international box office revenue already garnered, any performance metric would likely be secondary to its financial and cultural impact.
Furthermore, the movie’s incredible achievement serves as a stark reminder that the global entertainment landscape does not always revolve around the US market. The monumental success of ‘Ne Zha 2’ underscores the significance of engaging with diverse global audiences and embracing international content.
In related news, it has been reported that the third installment in the Ne Zha series is currently under development, with sources indicating a potential release date five years from now.
