Project Hail Mary is performing well at the box office in India. The film saw a noticeable increase in its collection on its first Tuesday, earning around Rs. 3.50 crore. This was about 20 per cent higher than the previous day. With this, the total collection of the film after 6 days has reached Rs. 23.55 crore gross in India.
The film, starring Ryan Gosling, has received positive feedback from viewers. Good word of mouth has helped increase the number of people going to theatres. Like many Hollywood films, most of its earnings in India are coming from urban areas where such films usually perform better.
Based on current trends, the film is expected to finish its first week with around Rs. 26 crore gross in India. If it continues to perform well in the coming weeks, especially in the second and third weeks, its total collection could reach around Rs. 50 crore gross. This would be considered a strong performance for a non franchise science fiction Hollywood film in the Indian market.
Here is the day wise box office collection of the film in India:
Day 1 Rs. 2.80 crore
Day 2 Rs. 3.35 crore
Day 3 Rs. 5.35 crore
Day 4 Rs. 5.75 crore
Day 5 Rs. 2.80 crore
Day 6 Rs. 3.50 crore estimated
Total Rs. 23.55 crore
At the global level, the film has performed even better. It has already crossed USD 300 million in worldwide earnings. The current global collection stands at around USD 325 million. Out of this, USD 169 million has come from domestic markets alone. This makes it the biggest grosser for Amazon MGM Studios so far.
