Ne Zha 2 made 2.2 billion in China... I watched a few minutes, and the movie is awful. The animation is poor, and the story is very basic (like Avatar). Yet even in Edmonton I saw packed theatres filled with generations of Chinese families. I couldn't believe 80 year old men were lining up to see a mediocre anime. That's a significant reason why Avatar 1/2 both grossed 2 billion, because of that same audience.
