China's box office revenue on June 1 soared to more than 358 million yuan (about 52 million U.S. dollars), up nearly 70 percent year on year, data from the China Movie Data Information Network show.

It crossed the mark of 300 million yuan for the first time on International Children's Day.

A wide range of animation films attracted tens of millions of moviegoers on the day and helped push Chinese film market to a new high after a cooling May.
