Can't call it the unthinkable but a Tamil film Leo starring Thalapathy Vijay, Trisha Krishnan, Sanjay Dutt and others, and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj has emerged as the number one film of the weekend at the global box office as per early estimates, even beating the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Lily Gladstone's film directed by Martin Scorsese titled Killers Of The Flower Moon. Leo grossed around USD 44.2m in its extended first weekend as compared to the USD 44m of Killers Of The Flower Moon in its first weekend.

Master, which released during the Covid-19 pandemic, emerged as the number one film of the weekend, worldwide, at the time of its release. With Leo, Thalapathy Vijay has become the first Indian actor to have two films top the global weekend charts, atleast as long as we don't get the exact figures of Killers Of The Flower Moon.
