On October 19, the Thalapathy Vijay-starring movie Leo was released in cinemas and it had a strong start, generating significant ticket sales. The anticipation for Leo in the USA was also substantial, with premieres planned for this popular region. The most recent report on Leo box office earnings from the USA premieres is impressive, reaching a staggering $2 million (around Rs 17 crore). Leo has outperformed films like Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawaan, Ajith’s Thunivu and Rajinikanth’s Jailer in terms of first-day box office collections in the US.
This action-packed drama has now become Vijay’s highest-grossing film in USA premieres surpassing Rajinikanth’s 2016 release Kabali, which earned $1.9 million (around Rs 16 crore). The North America total earnings for Leo are expected to exceed $2.4 million (around Rs 19.5 crore), marking a remarkable accomplishment for this Vijay-led film.
It’s noteworthy that Leo is being shown in over 1,000 locations in the USA alone, highlighting its wide release and strong performance.
The film has generated considerable excitement and there are hopes for a record-breaking first-weekend collection, with projections indicating it may exceed $5 million (Rs 40 crore) in the USA during the initial four days. In India, the film will enjoy an extended six-day weekend thanks to the Dussehra holidays on Monday and Tuesday. Furthermore, the simultaneous release of Leo in multiple languages has widened its distribution across India, securing additional screens for the movie.
Lokesh Kanagaraj’s directorial work has received praise from audiences, greatly boosting the highly anticipated film. Vijay’s action-packed performance has left fans amazed and Lokesh’s filmmaking skills continue to impress audiences. Anirudh Ravichander’s musical compositions have added to the excitement, promising several surprises for fans in the movie. All the elements are in place for Leo to make a substantial impact at the box office.
Just hours after its release, Leo was unfortunately leaked online. Trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan shared on his X (formerly known as Twitter) that Leo is now available in high quality on torrent websites, which is an unfortunate development for the film. The leak occurred shortly after the highly-anticipated release of Leo. Many fans have expressed their concerns on the trade analyst’s post and have called for the Information and Broadcasting Ministry to take action against this piracy issue.
