Geetu Mohandas’ latest release, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, created substantial buzz ever since the makers announced the film. The movie had everything in its favour until its opening day. Toxic turned out to be one of those Indian movies that had a massive opening and even broke several records. However, soon enough, the buzz witnessed a free fall from day 2 of the release. Though Yash’s film has crossed Rs 300 crore worldwide, it seems like a far-fetched dream for the film to recover its budget. Scroll down to read all about it.
What is Toxic’s worldwide box office collection?
Toxic opened on a strong note, raking in over Rs 140 crore worldwide on its first day and recording the second-biggest opening for a Kannada film after KGF Chapter 2. However, the film struggled to maintain its momentum in the days that followed. After a subdued weekend, Yash’s film wrapped up its five-day run with a collection of Rs 214 crore.
Sadly, the downward trend continued even on day 6, with the film managing to make only Rs 7.65 crore. This marked a nearly 70% decline from its Sunday earnings and a drop of almost 95% compared with its day 1 gross.
With this, the film’s six-day domestic net collection stands at Rs 221.75 crore, while its gross collection has reached Rs 265.00 crore. Given the current pace, Toxic could struggle to cross the Rs 300-crore mark by the end of its theatrical run in India.
However, when it comes to the worldwide collection of Toxic, the film minted Rs 2.00 crore on day 6, taking its total overseas gross to Rs 39.25 crore so far. This pushes the worldwide gross collection to Rs 304.25 crore.
Toxic fails to beat Adipurush
Despite Toxic having a bumper opening, the movie failed to surpass Prabhas’ Adipurush. Om Raut’s film has managed to earn more than Toxic in the same time-frame.
