Eager moviegoers in Malaysia are flocking to cinemas to watch China's animated blockbuster
00:07
Ne Zha 2, and they are quick to praise the impressive visual effects, storytelling and
00:12
depiction of Chinese culture.
00:17
They said the film exceeded their expectation and lived up to the billing as one of the
00:22
highest grossing movies of all time.
00:25
Some said they used to watch Japanese animations, but those from China are now able to captivate
00:30
them as well.
00:34
TGV Cinemas said on Saturday the film had crossed the 10 million ringgit mark in box
00:39
office in Malaysia in just three days.
00:42
The customers have been starting booking tickets on Sunday when we first allowed the ticket
00:48
booking and the response has been to an extent that we have not seen before.
00:52
So we are very encouraged by the response.
00:54
We are very pleased to see that a significant improvement in terms of quality of the Chinese
00:58
made movie, in terms of the storyline, in terms of appeal to the customers and we also
01:03
find that it appealed to all segments of customers in Malaysia.
01:08
The movie premiered in Malaysia on March 13th, more than a month after its release in China
01:13
on January 29th.
01:15
The film, which hit the cinemas in Japan on March 14th, was well received by the moviegoers.
01:21
They said the movie scenes are beautifully done and the film ended in a blink of an eye.
01:51
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the film is expected to be shown in over 250 cinemas
02:03
across some 100 cities during the first week of release.
02:20
We might not speak the same language but at its heart is a very universal theme of friendship
02:27
and just trying to do right in the world and I think that a lot of people really resonate
02:32
with that.
02:33
I can see why it's done so well in China already.
02:36
Nezha 2 continues the tale of the iconic boy god from Chinese mythology as Nezha and his
02:42
ally Aobing rebuild their physical forms and secure their fate as deities.
02:47
The film is now ranked the fifth highest grossing movies of all time, ahead of Star Wars, The
02:53
