The film Project Hail Mary has achieved a major milestone at the Indian box office. In just 11 days since its release, the film has earned ₹45.5 crore gross, making it the highest grossing space genre film in India so far. The movie stars Ryan Gosling and has continued to perform steadily in theatres.
One of the notable aspects of its performance is the trend seen during its second weekend. The collection from Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the second weekend was higher than the first opening weekend. This indicates that more people are choosing to watch the film after its release, which often suggests positive audience response.
With this achievement, Project Hail Mary has gone past the lifetime collections of several well known Hollywood space films in India. These include Interstellar which had earned ₹45 crore excluding last year’s re release, Gravity which also earned ₹45 crore, and The Martian which collected ₹32 crore. This sets a new record for films of this genre in the country.
The film’s steady performance shows that audiences in India are showing increasing interest in science fiction stories, especially those with large scale visuals and strong concepts. It also suggests that word of mouth has played a role in bringing more viewers to theatres over time.
Another important point is the film’s journey in India. In the beginning, it faced competition for premium screens from a strong local release. Despite that, it has managed to gain more screens and is now performing well across premium formats.
Project Hail Mary is presented by Amazon MGM Studios and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing International. It is available in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu and is being shown in IMAX and other premium large screen formats.
Overall, the film’s box office numbers reflect consistent audience interest and highlight how certain films can grow over time through positive response and wider reach.
