Project Hail Mary Shifts India Theatrical Debut to April 3 to Avoid Eid Weekend Clashes

Most territories retain a March 20 opening, with U.S. tracking near $45–55 million.

Overview

  • The India date moves from March 20 to April 3 to steer clear of Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic releasing March 19 and to secure better access to IMAX and Dolby screens.
  • The change was signaled on the film’s official social media tracker and reflected in PVR Cinemas listings.
  • Release plans elsewhere remain intact, positioning the film as a large‑format theatrical event across most global markets on March 20.
  • Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are presenting the film in premium formats worldwide, including IMAX, Dolby Cinema, 4DX and 70mm.
  • Early social reactions from advance screenings have been strongly positive, while industry estimates cite a roughly $150 million budget and project a domestic opening in the mid‑$40 millions to mid‑$50 millions.
