Toxic Shows Muted Numbers in the USA; Yash Starrer Lagging Well Behind Dhurandhar 2 in Advances

The USA advance booking trend for #Toxic, starring Yash, continues to remain underwhelming, with the film struggling to build meaningful momentum in the overseas market.

As per the latest trade estimates till now, Toxic has collected $12,224 in USA advance sales from 141 locations, across 215 shows, with just 563 tickets sold. Out of this, the Telugu version contributes $6,559, highlighting a limited pull beyond core language markets.

Sluggish Pace Raises Concerns

For a film carrying strong expectations and a pan-India appeal, these numbers are being viewed as muted and below par by trade observers. The low ticket count and modest show expansion indicate that audience buzz is yet to translate into strong advance traction.

While overseas markets can sometimes pick up closer to release, the current pace suggests that Toxic faces an uphill task in generating urgency among moviegoers in the USA.

Comparison With Dhurandhar 2 Highlights the Gap

The contrast becomes even more pronounced when viewed against the performance of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, which continues to outperform Toxic by a significant margin in USA advances. The Ranveer Singh starrer’s strong numbers have only amplified concerns around Toxic’s subdued response.

Trade circles note that the gap in advance booking trends reflects differences in pre-release buzz, awareness, and urgency among overseas audiences.

What Lies Ahead

With these numbers, Toxic still has considerable ground to cover in the USA. The onus now lies on last-minute marketing pushes, word-of-mouth, and spot bookings to improve its overseas prospects. Whether the film can reverse the trend remains to be seen.
