Project Hail Mary India Box Office: Ryan Gosling’s Sci-Fi Gem Is Quietly Heading Towards a ₹50 Crore+ Hit

In a box office week dominated by big Indian releases, a science fiction film starring Ryan Gosling has quietly done something remarkable — it’s holding firm, growing on weekdays, and looking every bit like a genuine long-legged hit in India. Project Hail Mary is the feel-good box office story nobody saw coming.

The film added Rs. 2.50 crore on its first Monday, registering a drop of just 10 per cent over the opening day — a superb hold by any measure.

The weekend growth from Friday to Sunday shows exactly the kind of upward trajectory that results from exceptional word-of-mouth. Indian audiences clearly loved what they saw.

Why This Performance Is So Impressive

Let’s put this in context — Project Hail Mary is a complex, dialogue-heavy, character-driven sci-fi film competing against Dhurandhar: The Revenge, one of the biggest Bollywood releases of 2026. And yet it’s holding its own beautifully.

Hollywood movies with good word-of-mouth perform best on weekdays, and that is expected to be the case here — with the film likely to cross the Rs. 25 crore mark and close its opening week around Rs. 26 crore gross.

The global picture is even more stunning. The movie has already surpassed the USD 300 million mark worldwide, becoming the biggest grossing venture of Amazon MGM Studios, surpassing the previous best, Creed 3.
