Vijay's action-thriller Leo had opened to a thunderous response from the audience on the first day. As per reports, the film collected Rs 140 crore worldwide on Thursday, 19 October. However, on Friday (20 October) it reportedly witnessed a significant drop in its collection.
As per industry tracker Sacnilk, Leo raked in Rs 36 crore in India on Day 2, which is almost a drop of 50% from Thursday. The two-day India collection of the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial now stands at Rs 64.80 crore.
Trade expert Manobala Vijay took to X (formerly Twitter) to state that due to negative word of mouth, shows have reduced outside Tamil Nadu. “#Leo screens REDUCED from tomorrow outside Tamil Nadu. Shocking fact is, due to poor WoM, many leo screens are getting allotted to other movies on Day 2 itself all over the world," he wrote.
