Toxic Worldwide Box Office Day 9: Yash’s action thriller has completed its extended opening week with a worldwide gross of ₹315.87 crore. Despite a strong opening, the film witnessed a slowdown during the extended week. However, it has now surpassed Suriya’s Karuppu to become the 5th highest-grossing Indian film of 2026 worldwide.
Yash’s Toxic has completed nine days at the global box office, and while the film has crossed the ₹300 crore mark, its performance remains below expectations considering its scale and pre-release hype.
The Geetu Mohandas directorial opened in theatres on August 26, 2026, and registered a strong start. However, the momentum gradually weakened during the extended opening week.
According to the latest figures, Toxic has earned ₹315.87 crore gross worldwide in nine days, putting it ahead of Karuppu on the list of the highest-grossing Indian films of the year.
Toxic Worldwide Box Office Day 9 Collection
On its second Thursday, Toxic reportedly earned ₹5.02 crore net in India, while its overseas gross stood at approximately ₹1 crore.
The film’s Day 9 worldwide collection therefore stands at around ₹6.02 crore gross.
This represents an approximately 18.98% drop from the previous day’s worldwide collection of ₹7.43 crore.
After nine days, the film’s worldwide box-office numbers stand at:
| Box Office | Collection |
|---|---|
| India Net | ₹235.05 crore |
| India Gross | ₹277.37 crore |
| Overseas Gross | ₹38.50 crore |
| Worldwide Gross | ₹315.87 crore |
With the extended opening week now complete, the film will be looking to stabilise during its second weekend.
Toxic Beats Karuppu To Enter Top 5
The biggest achievement for Toxic on Day 9 is its entry into the top five highest-grossing Indian films of 2026 worldwide.
With a worldwide gross of ₹315.87 crore, Yash’s film has edged past Suriya’s Karuppu, which finished its theatrical run at around ₹315 crore.
Toxic now occupies the fifth position on the list.
The next target is Vijay’s Jana Nayagan, which currently stands at approximately ₹327.2 crore worldwide.
That means Toxic needs roughly ₹11.33 crore more to move into fourth place.
Can Toxic Beat Jana Nayagan?
At the current pace, Toxic could surpass Jana Nayagan in the coming days.
However, the film’s slowing daily collections mean that its climb up the rankings may not be as quick as initially expected.
The film would need to maintain decent collections through its second weekend to comfortably cross the ₹327 crore mark.
If it manages to do so, Toxic will become the 4th highest-grossing Indian film of 2026 worldwide, moving ahead of Jana Nayagan.
Toxic Falls Short Of Its Huge Opening-Week Expectations
While ₹315 crore-plus worldwide in nine days is a sizeable number, Toxic was expected to perform at a significantly higher level.
The film carries the massive appeal of Yash, comes from a major production house and was mounted on a large scale. Given the three-year gap since Yash’s previous release and the extensive pre-release buzz, expectations were extremely high.
A ₹500 crore-plus worldwide opening-week total was considered achievable by trade observers before release.
Instead, the film has finished its nine-day extended opening week at around ₹315.87 crore.
The gap between expectations and actual performance has therefore become one of the major talking points surrounding the film’s box-office run.

Toxic Box Office Day 9: What Went Wrong?
Toxic had all the ingredients of a major pan-India blockbuster, but its theatrical trajectory has been more uneven than expected.
The film delivered a strong initial response, but collections began dropping as the opening week progressed. The extended first week also failed to produce the kind of sustained momentum normally associated with a major event film.
The mixed response to the film’s long runtime, narrative choices and second-half execution may have contributed to the slowdown.
Nevertheless, its worldwide total has already crossed ₹315 crore, and the film remains among the year’s biggest Indian theatrical releases.

Toxic Box Office Day 9: What’s Next?
The second weekend will now be crucial for Toxic.
The film has already crossed the ₹300 crore worldwide milestone and has overtaken Karuppu. Its immediate target is Jana Nayagan at ₹327.2 crore.
Beyond that, the film will need a significant hold in the coming weeks if it wants to challenge the higher positions on the 2026 worldwide-grossers list.
