Thalapathy Vijay's "Leo" Sets Sights on $1 Million+ Advance Booking in the USA
Thalapathy Vijay's 'Leo' aims for $1 million+ USA advance bookings, setting a new standard in Indian cinema. Get the latest updates on this blockbuster release.
Thalapathy Vijay is all set to make waves with his upcoming film, "Leo," aiming for an unprecedented $1 million+ in advance booking sales in the USA. This ambitious goal would set a new standard for Indian cinema, following in the footsteps of RRR's historic success.
Under the direction of Lokesh Kanagaraj, "Leo" promises a high-octane cinematic experience, strategically timed for release during the festive season of Vijayadashmi.
As of now, over 22,967 tickets have been snapped up for more than 350 screenings in the US, resulting in an impressive $528,641 in pre-sales, according to insights from Venky Reviews, a prominent trade analyst based in the USA.
With 13 days remaining until its release on October 19, 2023, "Leo" is poised to break advance booking records, aiming to cross the coveted $1 million mark.
While the advance sales in the USA are impressive, it remains to be seen if "Leo" can surpass the nearly $3 million earned by SS Rajamouli's RRR on its premiere day.
However, domestically, the Hindi version of the film may face a challenge, with an expected dry spell at the box office due to the absence of Hindi releases in major national multiplex chains like PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis.
Reports indicate that the 4-week OTT window for Leo's Hindi version will lead to a limited release in multiplexes. Nevertheless, distributors are determined to maximize the impact with single-screen showings.
Adding to the allure of the film is Sanjay Dutt's pivotal role as the antagonist, promising an electrifying showdown.
This action-packed extravaganza is part of Lokesh Kangaraj’s Lokesh Cinematic Universe, following hits like "Kaithi" and "Vikram."
Fans are eagerly awaiting the latest installment, with hopes that "Leo" can replicate the success of its predecessors. "Kaithi" amassed an impressive 75 crores, while "Vikram" was a box office behemoth, raking in a staggering 248 crores.
