The star of 'KGF', Yash, is releasing his biggest and most anticipated film, 'Toxic'. After a long wait, the movie premieres worldwide on August 26th. There is immense public interest in watching this large-scale pan-Indian picture, which is confirmed by its pre-sales.
Pre-sales for 'Toxic' began on August 21st. In just a few hours, Yash's film sold about 85 thousand tickets, and the first-day box office approached 4 million rupees. However, subsequent events proved unpredictable.
The film performed well in 48 hours
By late evening on August 22nd, Yash's film had sold approximately 400 thousand tickets across the country. This allowed the first-day box office to reach 16.88 crore rupees. Regarding booked seats, 'Toxic' generated a box office revenue of 25.6 crore rupees in 48 hours since the start of pre-sales.
There are only three days left until the film's release, and thousands of tickets are being sold hourly on ticketing platforms like BookMyShow. 'Toxic' generates the highest revenue in Kannada because Yash is one of the most famous Kannada stars, and the fanbase in this region is large, making the collection there higher than in the Hindi industry. Nevertheless, 'Toxic' is also showing strong results in the Hindi industry: 100 thousand tickets have been sold so far, with a revenue of 6.42 crore rupees including booked seats.
Will it break 'Pushpa 2's' record?
Due to the pace of pre-sales demonstrated by 'Toxic', there are suggestions that it might surpass the record of Allu Arjun's blockbuster 'Pushpa 2' in the Hindi language. This record could be broken in terms of the highest number of tickets sold and the largest premiere from South Indian cinema. Although it is difficult to draw final conclusions now, 'Toxic' is expected to achieve an even more impressive feat over the next three days. Furthermore, to surpass the 'Pushpa 2' record in Hindi, it needs to achieve significant revenue from spontaneous sales on the release day. Nevertheless, 'Toxic' is preparing for the biggest premiere of the year after 'Dhurandhar The Revenge', and now only the final figures remain to be seen.
