Vijay
starrer '
Leo
' is inching close to a grand theatrical release, and the reservation for the film is already open in the USA and other overseas locations. 'Leo' is releasing in over 1000 locations in North America, and it's the highest release for any
Tamil
film in the region. The widest release of Vijay's film made it break a box office record one week before the film's release.
'Leo' has grossed $832,689 from 544 locations in the USA premiere sales. Vijay's gangster drama has become the highest-grossing Tamil film in the USA premiere for 2023 as it has overtaken Rajinikanth's '
Jailer
', which earned $802,628 from 340 locations earlier this year.
With the immense response, 'Leo' is set to achieve the $1 million mark soon, and the
Lokesh Kanagaraj
directorial is going to be the first one million for Vijay in the USA premieres. Vijay's previous best at the USA premiere was the 2022 release 'Beast', which was directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, and the film earned around $660K from the USA premieres.
Not only in the USA, 'Leo' has emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film in the UK for day 1, and the film has earned £340K so far. 'Leo' has exceeded the day 1 collection of Shah Rukh Khan's 'Pathaan' (£319K) in the UK to set a new record. The highly anticipated film has begun its box office rampage, and the film is set to storm the box office heavily after its release.
'Leo' is hitting the big screens on October 19, and the film will be released in multiple languages to have a pan-Indian release. The reservations for the film in Tamil Nadu and other locations of India are yet to open, and in the meantime, fans have been getting ready to give a grand welcome to the film.
