The film held firmly on Friday, not dropping from Thursday and then had a big surge in collection on Saturday. With this weekend, the film is now locked to cross the Rs. 400 crore mark and also Jailer which closed at Rs. 408 crore.

The juggernaut run of Leo continued in Tamil Nadu, with an outstanding Rs. 28 crore second weekend, the third highest ever, just slightly under Vikram. The film crossed the Rs. 200 crore mark in the state yesterday, becoming only the second film ever to do so. The Vijay starrer hit the second century on just the eleventh day of release, in comparison PS1 took eighteen days for the same. The countdown for becoming the all-time grosser in the state has begun as it stands a mere Rs. 21 crore away from the record, with ETA on the same being the third weekend.

The box office collection of Leo at the Indian box office is as follows:

Week One: Rs. 321 crore (8 days)

2nd Friday: Rs. 10.50 crore

Elsewhere, the film has slowed down a bit in Karnataka though Telugu states remain pretty good and are on course to cross the Rs. 50 crore. Kerala continued to be phenomenal with Rs. 6.25 crore second weekend and a total close to Rs. 55 crore. Leo will emerge highest grossing Tamil film in the state in a couple of days overtaking Jailer (Rs. 57.80 crore). The Hindi dub version also had a good second weekend and should continue to run steadily till Diwali.
