The film Toxic, starring Yash in the main role, has proven to be a massive worldwide disaster. Alongside severe losses in domestic markets, the overseas performance has also been poor. Focusing specifically on the North American box office across the USA and Canada, the movie suffered from sluggish momentum right from pre-sales, though initial hopes existed for a turnaround. Ultimately, negative word-of-mouth dragged its theatrical run to a close with shockingly weak figures. Read on for the final collection breakdown!
Started its run with underwhelming collections
Because this marked Yash’s return following the historic success of KGF Chapter 2, expectations for his period gangster action thriller were exceptionally high. However, underwhelming promotional materials and numerous delays dampened the initial buzz. Consequently, the movie managed just $886K (8.49 crore) in the region on its opening day, which included $600K (5.75 crore) from premiere screenings. From there, ticket sales plummeted sharply, finishing its run under the $1.8 million mark.
How much did Toxic earn at the North American box office?
Following its slow start, unfavorable word-of-mouth strictly limited the lifetime run of Toxic. Final box office tallies show a total gross of $1.71 million, equivalent to 16.38 crore in Indian rupees. The USA generated the majority of this total with $1.14 million (10.92 crore), while Canada contributed $570K (5.46 crore).

When breaking down the figures by language, the Hindi version led the way with $701K (6.72 crore), closely followed by the Telugu version at $580K (5.56 crore). The Kannada version brought in $380K (3.64 crore), Tamil added $33K (31 lakh), and the English version accounted for $14.5K (13.89 lakh). The Malayalam version recorded a meager $1.5K (1.44 lakh).
Concludes as a big disaster!
For context, Toxic required a breakeven target of $6.5 million (62.28 crore) across North America. In reality, it achieved only $1.71 million, successfully covering just 26.31% of its required goal. The feature finished its run facing a massive shortfall of $4.79 million (45.9 crore), or 73.69%, turning into a major shock for Yash and his production team. For theatrical buyers, the investment has proved to be a nightmare.
North America box office summary:
- Breakeven – $6.5 million
- Collection – $1.71 million
- Recovery – 26.31%
- Deficit – $4.79 million
