Hollywood sci-fi films rarely have this kind of staying power at the Indian box office — but *Project Hail Mary* is quietly becoming something special. With a 10% jump into its third weekend and a cumulative gross of Rs 55.95 crore in just 16 days, Ryan Gosling’s space adventure is on a genuine mission to hit the Rs 100 crore mark in India. And it just might get there.

## Project Hail Mary: Rs 100 Crore Question

This is where it gets interesting. The last Hollywood film to pull off this kind of long-haul performance in India was *F1: The Movie* in 2025, which crossed Rs 125 crore — with over Rs 35 crore coming after its third week alone. The comparison isn’t unfair: both films have a niche but deeply engaged audience, and both benefit from strong word-of-mouth over mass marketing.

Project Hail Mary’s per-day numbers in week two averaged around Rs 3.5 crore — excellent retention for a foreign film competing against a packed slate. If those legs hold even partially into weeks three and four, the Rs 100 crore target moves from *possible* to *probable*.

## What Is Project Hail Mary About?

Based on Andy Weir’s acclaimed novel — you can learn more on its [Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Hail_Mary) — the film follows Ryland Grace, a middle-school science teacher and former molecular biologist who wakes up alone on a deep-space spacecraft with no memory of how he got there. As he pieces together his mission to save Earth from an extinction-level threat, he forms an unlikely and deeply emotional bond with an alien named Rocky.

It’s the kind of smart, emotionally resonant science fiction that Indian audiences — especially in metros — have increasingly embraced.
