The box office is heating up as Ranveer Singh’s ‘Dhurandhar 2’ and Yash’s ‘Toxic’ gear up for release. Early US advance bookings show ‘Dhurandhar 2’ taking a significant lead, fueled by a wider initial release. The clash promises to be intense.
Early US Advance Booking Trends
As March arrived, the biggest box office clash in recent times drew closer. This month, on the 19th, two mega films – Dhurandhar : The Revenge and Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups – are releasing in theatres alongside each other. There is a lot of buzz about the huge box-office clash and which film is likely to prevail. While advance bookings are yet to open in India, limited pre-sales for both films began in the US as February ended. And so far, Dhurandhar 2 has taken an early lead.
Toxic , Kannada superstar Yash’s comeback film, is also releasing worldwide on the same day. The Geetu Mohandas directorial has not seen a wide start to pre-sales in the US so far. As of Sunday, the film has opened in 122 shows in 81 theatres. The film has collected $3,665 in advance ticket sales for its premiere, selling 189 tickets.
Yash’s ‘Toxic’ Faces Initial Hurdles
Early comparisons show that Dhurandhar 2 has taken a big lead, but the gap can narrow quickly as more shows open for Toxic, which is bound to happen in the coming two weeks. Yash’s previous release, KGF Chapter 2, had earned just under $7 million in North America, but the actor’s stardom has increased a lot since its release in 2022.
Potential for ‘Toxic’ to Catch Up
Toxic, on the other hand, sees Yash in three roles, as the early promos indicate. The film, a violent actioner, stars Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi, and Rukmini Vasanth alongside Yash.
While ‘Dhurandhar 2’ currently leads in US pre-sales, ‘Toxic’ still has time to catch up as more shows open. The ultimate box office winner remains to be seen, making this clash one to watch closely.
