Leo Wows U.S. Market!

The pairing of the director Lokesh Kanagaraj with the star power of Vijay is causing a sensation in the U.S. market.

Leo’s pre-sales have surged to $900K, selling an astounding 40,000 ticket sales. This is a remarkable feat given that Vijay’s films typically haven’t had such a huge presence in the U.S. market.

Prathyangira Cinemas, the US distributor, has meticulous planning in advance, which is also a key reason for this. This is not a usual scenario for Tamil films.

Now, all the film needs is a blockbuster talk upon release. The success of Leo hinges on director Lokesh Kanagaraj.

Vijay’s premiere figures below:

Leo:      $900K
Beast:   $658K
Mersal: $403K
Sarkar:  $335K
Bigil:     $324K
Theri:    $251K
Varisu:  $147K
Master: $138K
