If you weren’t paying attention, you might have missed it — but Project Hail Mary is having a genuinely impressive run at the Indian box office. No massive opening weekend buzz, no superhero spectacle, just a brilliantly crafted sci-fi film doing what good stories do: keeping audiences coming back.
The Ryan Gosling starrer added Rs. 1.35 crore on its third Wednesday alone, registering just a 10% drop from Monday — a sign of remarkably steady audience interest. That kind of hold is rare for any Hollywood film in India, let alone one without a franchise backbone.

What Makes This Run Special?
The third week’s total reached Rs. 17 crore in just 5 days, and the film is expected to close the week around Rs. 18 crore. For context, most Hollywood films see a steep cliff after week two — Project Hail Mary is defying that trend convincingly.
The film is now on course to cross Rs. 75 crore in its fourth weekend, after which it enters its final legs. With Bhooth Bangla arriving as fresh competition, the next few days will be crucial. But if the audience word-of-mouth holds, the film might realistically push its final Indian cume closer to the Rs. 100 crore mark.
What Is Project Hail Mary About?
Based on Andy Weir’s beloved novel, Project Hail Mary follows Ryland Grace — a science teacher and former molecular biologist who wakes up alone on a spaceship with no memory of how he got there. As he slowly pieces together his mission, he befriends an alien named Rocky and races to save Earth from extinction. It’s emotional, funny, and genuinely moving — no wonder it’s holding so well.
