Rajinikanth's
'Jailer' Dominates
Vijay's
'Leo'
in
Worldwide
Box
Office
Clash
In
a
recent
report
by
film
industry
tracker
Manobala
Vijayabalan,
he
compared
the
worldwide
box
office
numbers
for
the
films
"Jailer,"
which
was
released
earlier
on
August
10,
and
"Leo,"
which
is
currently
in
theaters.
Rajinikanth's
"Jailer"
had
a
remarkable
two-week
run,
accumulating
an
impressive
₹574.98
crore
in
total
revenue.
The
film's
opening
weekend
was
particularly
strong,
with
day
one
raking
in
₹95.78
crore
and
day
four
reaching
a
staggering
₹82.36
crore.
On
the
other
hand,
Thalapathy
Vijay's
"Leo," when
compared
to
"Jailer,"
could
only
secure
₹350.74
crore
in
two
weeks.
Its
first-day
earnings
of
₹115.90
crore
showcased
the
film's
initial
popularity,
but
its
collection
dropped
over
time
at
the
worldwide
box
office.
Both
films
have
made
waves
in
the
film
industry,
but
according
to
Manobala
Vijayabalan's
report,
"Jailer"
emerges
as
the
winner
in
box
office
success.
In
the
meantime,
the
team
behind
"Leo"
hosted
an
exclusive
celebration
on
November
1st
at
the
iconic
Jawaharlal
Nehru
Indoor
Stadium
in
Chennai.
The
event
featured
the
complete
cast
and
crew,
and
notable
personalities
like
Thalapathy
Vijay,
Lokesh
Kanagaraj,
and
Trisha
Krishnan
were
in
attendance,
adding
to
the
grandeur
of
the
occasion.
Vijay
also
addressed
his
jubilant
fans,
who
were
in
high
spirits
due
to
the
success
of
'Leo'.
Many
netizens,
however,
mockingly
dub
the
Leo
Success
Meet
as
#LeoDisasterMeet
on
social
media,
alleging
that
the
claimed
success
by
the
makers
is
false.
There
are
also
narratives
suggesting
that
these
hashtag
campaigns
are
orchestrated
by
the
haters
of
Vijay
and
his
movie.
"Leo" has
left
audiences
divided,
with
starkly
contrasting
feedback
for
its
first
and
second
halves.
While
the
initial
half
of
the
movie
received
glowing
reviews,
the
latter
part
seems
to
have
disappointed,
resulting
in
a
wave
of
mixed
reactions.
Netizens
are
now
expressing
their
dissatisfaction
with
the
movie,
especially
the
lacklustre
second
half.
The
mixed
reviews
of
the
movie
have
sparked
a
wide
range
of
discussions
and
debates.
