China's biggest hit of all time has given the Beijing film industry fresh optimism, but economic headwinds and shifting Gen Z consumption habits could present challenges throughout the rest of 2025.

China’s box office remained steady over the March 14–16 weekend, with 'Ne Zha 2' continuing its dominant run at the top of the charts.

Ne Zha 2 has been taking over the world ever since it dropped earlier this year, and the latest update at the worldwide box office has seen it even beat out Star Wars as one of the highest grossing feature films of all time.
