State-backed companies are involved in all three productions.
A fourth movie, an American documentary about the killings in Nanjing, was recently released in China. That film, Nanking, which also tells the story of foreign protectors, mixes archival footage and stage readings of diary entries and letters by actors Woody Harrelson and Mariel Hemingway.
The slate of movies about the Nanjing killings come amid lingering tensions between China and Japan over wartime atrocities.
Some Chinese still believe the Japanese government hasn't shown enough remorse for its World War II-era killings in China.
Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt is "doing good" behind bars, his lawyer said on Wednesday, a day after the movie actor was sentenced to six years in jail over deadly blasts in Mumbai in 1993.
His sentencing for illegal weapons possession sent shockwaves through the song-and-dance film industry, long accused of links to Mumbai's criminal underworld.
Dutt is "doing good, that's all I will say," lawyer Satish Maneshinde said after he met the star at the congested high-security Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai, built to house 800 inmates but believed to hold nearly 3,000.
Bollywood's original "bad boy," known for his tough guy roles, began his six-year term in prison clothes and had no special concessions, jail authorities said.
He had no fan, bedsheet or pillow and ate a basic Indian diet that included pulses and rice, jail authorities said.
"There's no special treatment, his day started today like that of any other inmate," a jail official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
However, Dutt was allowed to take a luxury toiletries kit into the jail, a prison source said.
Dutt has always maintained his innocence, arguing that he had bought a Kalashnikov assault rifle to protect his family from sectarian violence.
The "Black Friday" bombings were allegedly staged by Mumbai's Muslim-dominated mafia in retaliation for deadly Hindu-Muslim clashes and the demolition of a mosque by Hindu extremists.
