The film Project Hail Mary is continuing its steady run at the Indian box office. On its third Monday, the film collected Rs. 1.50 crore. This was a drop of 40 per cent compared to its third Friday, but the overall trend during the third week remains stable.
In the first four days of the third week, the film has earned Rs. 13.40 crore. Since Tuesday is a holiday, there is an expectation that collections may see a slight increase. Based on the current trend, the film is likely to finish the week with total earnings between Rs. 18 crore and Rs. 20 crore.
So far, the total collection of the film in India stands at Rs. 67.15 crore gross. The film stars Ryan Gosling in the lead role. Over the past few weeks, it has managed to maintain steady numbers, which suggests that it may continue to perform well in the coming days.
If the current trend continues, the film could reach close to Rs. 75 crore by the end of this week. In the fourth week, it may go up to around Rs. 85 crore. After that, it would need around Rs. 15 crore more to reach the Rs. 100 crore mark. This target looks possible based on how the film is performing.
One important point about the film is its opening. It started with less than Rs. 3 crore on its first day. However, instead of a quick drop, the film slowly increased its collections over time. This kind of growth is not very common, especially for films that are not part of a known franchise.
In India, Hollywood films usually depend on popular franchises or well known characters to attract audiences. Project Hail Mary is a standalone film, which makes its performance more notable.
Here is the box office breakdown so far
Week One 8 days Rs. 29.50 crore
Week Two Rs. 24.25 crore
Third Friday Rs. 2.50 crore
Third Saturday Rs. 4.75 crore
Third Sunday Rs. 4.65 crore
Third Monday Rs. 1.50 crore
Total Rs. 67.15 crore
Overall, the film’s performance shows a steady response from audiences over time.
