Our photo series this week looks at some of the summer blockbusters set for China’s cinema screens in the next couple of months.

School’s out in China and that means plenty of family-friendly fodder at the cinemas. Well, technically all of the films screened in China are family-friendly thanks to the lack of any ratings system and some heavily-enforced content guidelines, but the summer holidays brings a wave of especially kid-centric movies.
