Project Hail Mary Holds Strong in India, Crosses ₹53.75 Crore in Two Weeks
Ryan Gosling’s Project Hail Mary continues to perform steadily at the Indian box office, collecting around ₹24.25 crore in its second week. This takes the film’s total earnings in India to approximately ₹53.75 crore.
Strong second-week hold
What stands out most is the film’s impressive stability. The second week saw less than a 10% drop from the first week, which is considered a very strong hold for any release.
While the weekend benefited slightly from a holiday boost, even the weekday numbers remained solid, with only a 25–30% drop week-on-week, showing consistent audience interest.
What’s next for the film?
If the current trend continues, the film could earn around ₹10 crore during its third weekend, potentially taking its total to about ₹63 crore by Sunday.
Looking further ahead, the big question is how well it holds in the coming weeks. Hollywood films that connect with Indian audiences often enjoy long theatrical runs. A recent example is F1: The Movie, which went on to earn around ₹125 crore, with a significant chunk coming after its third week.
Possible box office journey
Based on its current trend, Project Hail Mary looks on track to comfortably cross ₹75 crore, with a strong chance of even reaching or touching the ₹100 crore mark, depending on its performance over the next few weeks.
A rare Hollywood success in India
The Indian box office is usually dominated by franchise films and established global brands. Standalone Hollywood films rarely break through—but Project Hail Mary is turning out to be one of those rare success stories.
