“Lost in Hong Kong” replaced the American 3D computer-animated film “Minions” in the ranking, which previously held the top spot.

More than a dozen celebrities made a cameo appearance in the film, including TV host Cheng Lei, Hong Kong actor Fung Min-hun and Chinese actor-director-producer Wong Jing.

Second in the ranking is the Liu Yifei-Song Seung-heon starrer, “The Third Way of Love.” The romantic flick by Korean director Lee Jae Han (John H. Lee) raked in $7.5 million in three days.

Set in Chiang Mai, the $2.2-million “Lost in Thailand” premiered in Dec. 2012. It earned 1.26 billion yuan ($208 million) at the local-box office, according to Film Business Asia.

Xu co-wrote the comedy film with Ding Ding and Shu Huan. The jurors at the 4th China Film Director's Guild Awards recognized his efforts both in front and behind the camera and nominated him for Best Director, Best Actor and Best Screenwriter in 2013.

Hong Kong director Raymond Yip’s 9.5-million-yuan “Lost on Journey” was released in June 2010 and starred Xu alongside Wang Baoqiang. It made 46.5 million yuan at the box office, according to Tencent QQ.

Prior to “Lost in Hong Kong,” Xu was last seen in the 2012 TV series, “The Bachelor.”

The Shanghai-born 43-year-old award-winning actor and director also received nominations for Best Supporting Actor (“I’m a Boss” and “Crazy Stone”).
