Lower than 24 hours remain until the discharge of Project Hail Mary in India, and fans are disenchanted because the booking has yet to open in a full-fledged manner across the board. The largest grouse amongst them is that ticket sales have yet to start in IMAX theatres. The Ryan Gosling-starrer, which released on March 20 in most parts of the world, was pushed by per week in India, to March 26, to avoid a clash with Dhurandhar The Revenge.
Project Hail Mary struggles to get screens in India despite healthy advance sales; expected to share shows with Dhurandhar The Revenge in IMAX properties
A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “Project Hail Mary is filmed for IMAX and hence for a lot of moviegoers, it’s a must-watch within the IMAX theatres. However the bookings still have not began though the film releases tomorrow (Thursday, March 26). Most likely, Project Hail Mary will share shows with Dhurandhar 2 within the IMAX screens.”
What alarmed netizens was that Cinepolis Kochi had initially allotted all shows for the day to Project Hail Mary, while the late-night show at Maison INOX, BKC, Mumbai, was also scheduled for the Hollywood film. Nevertheless, on the night of March 24, bookings for Project Hail Mary were suspended at each cinemas. As of 8:00 am on March 25, the one IMAX property in India to have opened bookings for the film is Broadway Cinemas, Coimbatore. It’s scheduled to screen the Ryan Gosling-starrer tomorrow at 2:00 pm, and the show is already almost full.
The trade source revealed, “Project Hail Mary has sold some 25,000 tickets for the discharge day. Once IMAX bookings start, the number will jump significantly as nearly all of the moviegoers in the foremost cities are going to look at the film in all its glory on the enormous IMAX screens.”
One other source told us, “Dhurandhar The Revenge is doing record business. We don’t remember the last time a movie has done such business. The occupancy has barely fallen on weekdays. Hence, it’s obvious that the studio and in addition the exhibitors are unwilling to cut back showcasing with the intention to accommodate one other film. Nevertheless, Project Hail Mary’s advance booking is powerful. This and the glowing reviews from the West have given Sony Pictures the motivation to fight for as many screens as possible. The problem is predicted to be resolved by Wednesday afternoon or at the most recent by Wednesday evening.”
Meanwhile, a number of days ago, Project Hail Mary’s director duo, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller opened up about Dhurandhar The Revenge’s blockbuster business in an interview with Variety India. When asked about their film releasing per week later in India, Christopher Miller said, “We’ve got a sequel to a extremely popular Bollywood film coming out on that date; I heard about it. And I’m glad.”
Phil Lord added, “(That’s) good for the health of the worldwide movie business and for Bollywood. There are great local productions, of course.”
