The box office is really heating up, and we never know which movie will gain attention and which one will bite the dust. However, the situation for Toxic appears to be worsening with each passing day.
The film registered 218.18K tickets sold on day 5, Sunday, on BookMyShow. But remember, Toxic is a pan-Indian movie, and the real surprise is that films like Ravi Teja’s Irumudi, the lesser-known Hanuman Ansh, and Malayalam sensation Bethlehem Kudumba Unit are selling more tickets.
Here are the numbers:
Irumudi – 281.52K (Day 10)
Hanuman Ansh – 248.33K (Day 24)
Bethlehem Kudumba Unit – 231.02K (Day 10)
Toxic — 218.18K (Day 5)
These numbers speak loudly. Toxic is going to struggle as it moves forward, especially after failing to get a major boost from the weekend. Meanwhile, strong word of mouth and solid content have helped the regional films shine at the box office.
The Monday test will therefore be crucial for the Yash-led film. Its performance on Monday should give us a much clearer indication of where Toxic is headed and whether it can stabilise its theatrical run.
Meanwhile, the regional films continue to fly high at the box office, proving once again that scale and star power do not always guarantee sustained audience attention.
