' has reportedly earned close to Rs 135 crore worldwide on day 1, and the action drama has shattered the opening day collection of all previous Tamil films. In Tamil Nadu, 'Leo' has reportedly grossed close to Rs 38 crore, and it's now the highest-grossing film in the state on day 1. 'Leo' has surpassed Ajith's 'Valimai' day 1 collection (Rs 36 crore) to steal the throne again in the home state. The denial of special morning shows for 'Leo' in Tamil Nadu made the film earn a lesser number, and the film would have definitely earned over Rs 40 crore despite the working day release.

Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana have also supported the Vijay film as the domestic collection of the film is estimated to be around Rs 80 crore. The overseas collection is the one that superpowered 'Leo' as the action drama earned about Rs 50 crore from foreign locations. Accordingly, the 'Leo' day 1 collection has thrashed the day 1 collection of Rajinikanth's '2.O', and the Vijay starrer is now also the highest-grossing Tamil film on the opening day.

'Leo' is set to have an extended first week in India with the Dussehra holidays on the corner, and the film will surely zoom past the breakeven mark with mostly positive reviews from the audience.
