Ryan Gosling’s Project Hail Mary is showing the kind of box office stamina that Hollywood originals rarely manage in India. After a strong start, the sci-fi drama held exceptionally well in its second week and pushed its total Indian gross to Rs. 55.25 crore, underlining that the film has found a solid theatrical audience beyond opening weekend curiosity.
The film added Rs. 24.25 crore in its second week, with the drop from its first extended opening week staying under 10 per cent. That is a standout hold for a non-franchise Hollywood title in the market. Even through the weekdays, the film maintained healthy momentum, with week-on-week declines staying in the 25 to 30 per cent range, a sign that word of mouth has remained firmly in its favour.
Second Week Hold Keeps Project Hail Mary In The Fast Lane
The week two run was powered by Rs. 4.50 crore on second Friday, Rs. 5.50 crore on Saturday, and Rs. 5.60 crore on Sunday, before the film settled into a steady weekday rhythm with daily grosses between Rs. 2 crore and Rs. 2.35 crore. That consistency is what has turned Project Hail Mary into one of the rare standalone Hollywood successes in India.
At a time when the Indian market tends to respond most strongly to familiar franchises and major branded properties, Project Hail Mary has broken through on the strength of its concept and audience reception. Its trend suggests the film has moved beyond an opening burst and into the kind of sustained run that can keep a title active for several weeks.

Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Project Hail Mary is based on Andy Weir’s novel and stars Gosling as Ryland Grace, a science teacher who wakes up alone aboard a spacecraft with no memory of how he got there. As his memories return, he realises he is on a mission to solve a cosmic crisis threatening Earth. The film also features Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung and Milana Vayntrub, and reached Indian cinemas on March 20, 2026 through the Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment distribution partnership.
Ryan Gosling’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Gosling’s recent filmography reflects a deliberate mix of large-scale studio entertainment and star-driven originals. He was seen in Barbie in 2023, a global blockbuster directed by Greta Gerwig in which he played Ken opposite Margot Robbie. In 2024, he returned to theatres with The Fall Guy, David Leitch’s action comedy co-starring Emily Blunt, which earned a warm reception for its crowd-pleasing tone.
Now, with Project Hail Mary posting a strong India run, Gosling has added another theatrical winner to that streak. Looking ahead, one of his confirmed upcoming big-screen projects is an untitled feature from Daniels, set for release in 2027, keeping his momentum intact as he continues to alternate between event cinema and filmmaker-led projects.
