Project Hail Mary
Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 has emerged as a box office juggernaut. The film has minted over Rs 1000 crore within seven days of release, beating the record of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2. With Dhurandhar 2 arriving in theatres, several films have pushed their release dates to avert a clash. Ryan Gosling’s Project Hail Mary, touted to be the biggest Hollywood film of 2026, has also faced the brunt of Dhurandhar 2 mania.
IMAX VP on lack of Project Hail Mary shows
The Hollywood sci-fi drama was not allotted a single IMAX screen in India. On the day of its India release, Project Hail Mary had limited IMAX shows. Even when the number of shows was increased, they were immediately sold out, as the total number of shows remained low.
