Ryan Gosling’s Project Hail Mary continues to post a confident run in India, with the sci-fi drama staying firm into its third week and moving beyond the Rs 72 crore gross mark. In a market where many Hollywood titles fade quickly after the opening burst, this film has managed to hold attention, giving cinemas a sustained performer rather than a front-loaded one.
On its third Wednesday, Project Hail Mary added Rs 1.35 crore gross, taking its India total to Rs 72 crore gross. The film had closed its first week at Rs 29.50 crore gross and followed that with Rs 24.25 crore gross in week two, showing that audience interest did not collapse after the debut frame.
Third-Week Grip Keeps The India Run Alive
The day-wise trend in week three paints the clearest picture of the film’s staying power. Project Hail Mary collected Rs 1.50 crore on Friday, Rs 4.75 crore on Saturday, Rs 4.65 crore on Sunday, Rs 1.50 crore on Monday, Rs 2.25 crore on Tuesday, and Rs 1.35 crore on Wednesday. Those six days add up to Rs 16 crore gross, perfectly in step with the current cumulative total after its first two weeks.
That matters because it gives the film room to stretch its lifetime total further, even as fresh releases compete for screens. More importantly, it sets up the broader story behind the numbers, why this particular film has managed to click with Indian audiences.

A Survival Story With A Cosmic Heart
Project Hail Mary is a science fiction drama led by Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace, a middle-school science teacher and former molecular biologist who wakes up alone on a spaceship with no memory of how he got there. As his memories slowly return, he discovers that the mission is tied to Earth’s survival, and the story expands into an emotional interstellar bond with an alien named Rocky.
That mix of spectacle, humor, and emotional stakes has given the film a hook beyond hardcore science fiction fans. It also makes this box office run an interesting chapter in Gosling’s career, especially in a market that does not always turn original Hollywood sci-fi into a long-distance theatrical play. That sustained response naturally turns the spotlight back on the actor leading the film.
Ryan Gosling’s India Pull Gets Another Boost
Gosling has kept his recent filmography selective, but each release has landed in a distinct zone of popular culture. He starred in The Gray Man in 2022, the Netflix action thriller directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, before delivering one of his most widely discussed performances as Ken in Barbie in 2023, a global blockbuster. In 2024, he returned to theatres with The Fall Guy, an action comedy co-starring Emily Blunt.
Seen against that run, Project Hail Mary highlights another side of Gosling’s screen appeal. While Barbie leaned into pop icon energy and The Fall Guy played to mainstream studio fun, this film places him back in a character-driven science fiction space. Its India performance confirms there is room in the market for an original, star-led Hollywood sci-fi film when the emotional hook is strong enough and the lead actor brings recognisable pull.
