Project Hail Mary Becomes India’s Highest Grossing Space Film Ever: Mints ₹45.5 Cr, Beats Interstellar

In a remarkable box office milestone, Project Hail Mary has emerged as the highest-grossing space genre film in India, clocking an impressive ₹45.5 crore gross in just 11 days of release. The Ryan Gosling starrer has not only sustained its strong theatrical momentum but has now officially surpassed the lifetime collections of some of Hollywood's most celebrated space films in the Indian market. Interestingly, the second weekend ( Friday, Saturday, Sunday) was higher than the first opening weekend ( Friday, Saturday, Sunday) signaling strong trends at the box office.

With this milestone, Project Hail Mary has surpassed the lifetime collections of Interstellar (₹45 Cr, excluding last year's re-release), Gravity (₹45 Cr), and The Martian (₹32 Cr), setting a new benchmark for space films in India. The film's consistent performance reflects not just strong word of mouth, but also a growing interest among Indian audiences for high concept, large scale cinematic experiences.

What makes this feat even more significant is the journey the film has had in India. Despite an early battle for premium screens against a local box office juggernaut, Project Hail Mary now leads across all premium formats. Its performance highlights how strong content, fuelled by fan momentum, can power a film to sustained success in India. With packed shows, repeat viewings, and sustained buzz, Project Hail Mary has firmly positioned itself as a must watch big screen experience for the coming week.

Presented by Amazon MGM Studios and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing International, the film is playing in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu across IMAX®️ and other premium large formats.
