Sources say that 'Leo' has already sold over 550,000 tickets in Kerala, making it the very first movie to cross the 8 crore gross collection mark on the first day of its release in Kerala, solely through pre-sales.


As of October 17 at 10:30 AM IST, the Kerala Pre-Sales update reveals a remarkable performance with 2,694 tracked shows, 460,500 admissions, and a gross collection of 6.98 crores, with an impressive occupancy rate of 63%. The film is expected to surpass the first-day gross collection of 'KGF 2' through online bookings alone.

Additionally, 'Leo' has achieved significant pre-sales success, crossing the 40 lakh mark at Trivandrum Aries Plex, becoming the first theatrical chain in Kerala to sell over 20,000 admissions through pre-sales. This remarkable achievement is indicative of the movie's massive popularity among Kerala audiences.

For the eager moviegoers in Kerala, 'Leo' is set to have its first screening at 4 AM on October 19, a memorable occasion for fans of the star-studded film. However, it's worth noting that the Tamil Nadu government has revoked permission for morning shows, altering the film's screening schedule.

Moreover, in preparation for 'Leo's grand release, there are reports of some shows for Mammootty's 'Kannur Squad' being potentially rescheduled on October 19 to accommodate the launch of 'Leo.'
