Ramesh Bala, another expert in the film trade, provided additional insights into the overseas market's dynamics. He emphasized that the overseas market is a combination of factors, citing the example of Thalapathy Vijay's film Varisu, released earlier in the year, and how it performed in the United States. He attributed the performance not solely to the star but to the overall package, including the director's popularity. Bala further noted that Leo was trailing behind Jailer at the US box office, with Jailer pulling in higher revenue on the first Saturday. This underlines the significance of competition and varying factors influencing a film's performance in different regions.

Directed by Lokesh Kanagraj, Leo stars Thalapathy Vijay and marks the Tamil debut of Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt. The film has generated substantial attention, not only for its star-studded cast but also for its director, who has raised expectations in the industry with LCU - Lokesh Cinematic Universe.
Despite a few hiccups along the way, such as the cancellation of the audio event, Leo has succeeded in maintaining audience engagement and excitement, right from the word go while promotional assets added to the anticipation. As Thalapathy Vijay starrer continues its theatrical run, it will be intriguing to observe whether it can sustain its momentum and box office success, and how it will be received by audiences worldwide.
