The box office juggernaut Leo continued to wreak havoc on its second day. The film grossed Rs. 43 crore on Friday in India, which took its two-day total to Rs. 120 crore. Leo is projected to earn around Rs. 225 crore in its four-day weekend, which will make it the career highest-grosser for Vijay in just four days.

In Tamil Nadu, the film posted an insane Rs. 25 crore on its second day. The film obliterated the record for biggest non-holiday second day. No film has ever crossed Rs. 15 crore on a non-holiday second day in Tamil Nadu and here this film has gone over the Rs. 25 crore mark. In fact, there are only four films which have a higher first day and three of them are Vijay starrer, including Leo.

This also tells the magnitude of how big the film is in the state as on the first day it essentially hit the capacity and there was a huge spillover demand. That spillover wasn't just for the second day as you have Saturday and Sunday filled up in bigger centres and now Monday has reached levels where the top films are on the first day. This is normally the case for Vijay films but this time it is dialled up to eleven. Given the required capacity, the film could have probably done Rs. 50 crore in Tamil Nadu on the first day.

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

Thursday: Rs. 77 crore
Friday: Rs. 43 crore

Total: Rs. 120 crore

Outside Tamil Nadu, the film collected Rs. 5.75 crore approx in Kerala on the second day followed by Rs. 5 crore and Rs. 4.50 crore in AP/TS and Karnataka. The drops here were bigger but that’s because the first day was simply out of this world and this kind of drop on the second day is nothing out of the ordinary. The three territories are quite similar in two days total and are moving toward Rs. 30 crore plus four day weekend.
