Blockbuster joins ranks of 100 top films

Fresh from shattering China's box-office record, blockbuster Wolf Warriors 2 has claimed another slice of history by becoming the first non-Hollywood film to break into the top 100 all-time grossing movies worldwide.

The action movie's plotline of Chinese soldiers saving war-ravaged Africans has resonated in China, and the film last week became the country's all-time top earner less than two weeks after its release.

The strength of those domestic receipts has now propelled the film onto industry monitor Box Office Mojo's all-time 100 list, where on Wednesday it knocked 1994's Forrest Gump from the No 100 spot.
