Liu leaves Legendary East after five years as president and joins Warner. During her tenure at Legendary, she transformed their China office into a success story by releasing several high-grossing films. Under her leadership, the company earned approximately 4 billion yuan ($440 million) from releasing five major films in China’s cinemas.
Legendary East executive VP of marketing Di Mu was recently elevated to the CEO role.
As a passionate cinephile, I took pride in guiding “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” (2024) and “A Minecraft Movie” (2025) at Legendary Pictures, turning them into the top-grossing foreign films in China during their release years. “Godzilla vs. Kong” even managed to secure the runner-up spot among all foreign releases in its year. My strategic insights played a significant role in helping Legendary Pictures secure the second position among all Hollywood studios in China’s annual box office in both 2021 and 2024.
Jeff Goldstein, president of global distribution at Warner Bros. Pictures, praised Sirena, saying she’s a dynamic executive with extensive knowledge about the Chinese film industry and an exceptional track record. He emphasized that her leadership will play a significant role as we expand our presence in one of the world’s major cinema markets.
Prior to her illustrious career, Liu held the position of China country manager for 20th Century Fox. During this time, she achieved box office success with films such as “The Martian,” “Kingsman: The Golden Circle,” “X-Men: Apocalypse,” and “Alita: Battle Angel.
As a cinema enthusiast, I’m thrilled to be part of Warner Bros., eager to add my creativity to such a legendary film company worldwide. China, with its vibrant and energetic market, is truly a global powerhouse. I can’t wait to collaborate with this exceptional team here, aiming to deliver memorable cinematic adventures for Chinese viewers.
The appointment is effective immediately.
