Theatrical Release Schedule and Revisions
Toxic is scheduled to release in cinemas worldwide on August 26, 2026. The project underwent earlier schedule adjustments before finalizing its late-August premiere:
- Initial Window (March 19, 2026): Deferred due to logistics associated with regional tensions in West Asia.
- Revised Window (June 4, 2026): Shifted further to coordinate international distribution alignment across global markets.
The film aims to combine psychological character studies with large-scale action, targeting both domestic and overseas theatrical distribution.
