The Chinese movie theaters will see a total of 37 films this June. But the potential box office winners will be only a few – and a fight between domestic releases and Hollywood franchises.

All hail to the children

Beginning with the Children's Day on June 1, six films will be out on the same day to coincide with the holiday.

June 1 marks the celebration of children around the world and what could beat a night out in cinemas with mom, dad and the kids.

There will be five films out on the same day, but the luck for the thriller film Damnation may not be very good.

Among the other five films include four animated films Dragon Blade, Happy Little Submarine 20000 Leagues under the Sea, Magic Mirror 2, popular Japanese animation Doraemon the Movie: Nobita's Treasure Island and a drama story Journey to the Snowing Mountains.

The Doraemon film may prove to be the most profitable one as the cartoon figure enjoys huge fandom in China – not just limited to children but also adults.
