How much did Vijay’s Leo earn at the box office on day 7?
Leo was one of the most-anticipated films of 2023. It was released in dubbed versions of Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi languages. The film stars Thalapathy Vijay alongside Trisha, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun, Madonna Sebastian, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Mysskin, Mansoor Ali Khan, George Maryan, Priya Anand, and Mathew Thomas, among others.
The film falls under LCU (Lokesh Cinematic Universe) and saw a huge dip in the collection on Wednesday, October 25.

While the film collected over USD 4.2 million on Monday and USD 3.9 million on Tuesday, it only managed to collect around USD 1.5 million on Wednesday.
In terms of worldwide box office collection, Leo has surpassed the likes of three major films.
