Ryan Gosling's Hollywood sci-fi film Project Hail Mary is performing well at the Indian box office, especially over the weekend, despite competition from major Indian releases. The film released in India on March 20, 2026, and has shown steady growth through its opening weekend. On Day 4 (Sunday), Project Hail Mary collected approximately ₹4.75 crore net across 1,634 shows in India. With this, the film's total India net collection stands at ₹14.50 crore, while the India gross collection has reached ₹17.38 crore after four days of release. Project Hail Mary has also emerged as a breakout success among Hollywood releases in India in 2026, as it has already surpassed the lifetime business of all Hollywood films released this year within its extended opening weekend itself. This highlights the film's strong acceptance in the market despite competition from major Indian releases. A key contributor to this performance has been Sony Pictures' aggressive screen expansion strategy, which ensured wide reach across multiplexes, coupled with strong exhibitor support that helped the film maximize its weekend potential. The film witnessed strong weekend growth after a steady opening, indicating positive word of mouth among urban audiences and multiplex circuits. Hollywood films in India typically rely heavily on weekend growth, and Project Hail Mary appears to be following a similar trend.

The film opened strongly worldwide and continued to dominate the global box office in its second weekend. Project Hail Mary is directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and written by Drew Goddard, based on Andy Weir's novel of the same name. The film stars Ryan Gosling in the lead role along with Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, Milana Vayntrub, Liz Kingsman, Orion Lee, Aaron Neil, James Ortiz, and Priya Kansara. With positive reviews, strong global performance, and steady growth in India, Project Hail Mary is expected to continue its run in multiplexes over the coming week, especially in metro cities where Hollywood films traditionally perform well.
