Toxic Box Office Faces Second-Day Drop, Weekend Test Ahead
Toxic is a movie starring Yash.
It earned a very large amount of money on its first day in India.
On the second day, its earnings went down, although reports give different numbers for how much it made.
The Hindi version has earned more than the other language versions so far.
The Kannada version is the second-best performer.
Some estimates say the movie could make Rs.
35-40 crore on its third day.
The movie reportedly cost Rs.
500 crore to make.
Its weekend earnings may show whether it can keep attracting viewers.
Critics and audiences have given the film negative to mixed reactions.
Toxic opened with Rs. 101.10 crore net in India across 24,579 shows.
Reports differ on Day 2 earnings, placing the India net collection at either Rs. 22.08 crore or Rs. 37.65 crore.
One report puts the film’s two-day worldwide collection at Rs. 185.60 crore gross.
The Hindi-dubbed version led with about Rs. 79.25 crore in two days, followed by Kannada at Rs. 31.80 crore.
Early estimates predict Rs. 35-40 crore net on Day 3, while the weekend is considered crucial for the film.

Weekend prospects
Higher Estimate and Recovery
Early estimates predict Rs. 35-40 crore net on Friday, indicating that the film could stabilize after Thursday’s decline.
