EXCLUSIVE: From 6 IMAX shows on Day 1 to 108 a day in Week 2, Project Hail Mary proves unstoppable as audience demand explodes; The Super Mario Galaxy Movie secures 66 shows; Dhurandhar The Revenge down to 21 shows Last week, Bollywood Hungama did a viral story that on the day of its release, March 26, Project Hail Mary was able to secure shows in only 6 out of 34 IMAX screens in India. Thanks to the impact of the Bollywood Hungama article, relentless efforts by the Sony Pictures team and sustained pressure from the fans, the exhibitors finally relented. From March 27, all the theatres of IMAX started playing Project Hail Mary. The demand was such that Eros Cinema even played a show at 3:45 am on Saturday, March 28 and Sunday, March 29. Yesterday, it came to light that the Hollywood studio again had to put up a tough fight to get shows for their film in its second week. What complicated the matter is not just Jio Studios’ insistence for IMAX shows in Dhurandhar The Revenge but also persuasion by Universal Pictures to play The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Bollywood Hungama has now learned that the issue has been resolved and Project Hail Mary has emerged victorious. A source told us, “Project Hail Mary now has 108 shows across 34 IMAX screens in India. As for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, it will play 66 shows. Meanwhile, Dhurandhar The Revenge will have 21 shows a day. In short, Sony has secured nearly 2x the IMAX shows compared to Mario and 5x compared to Dhurandhar 2 ... #March #Super_Mario #Mario_Galaxy #Bollywood_Hungama #Galaxy_Movie #IMAX #Project_Hail #Hail_Mary #Hail #IMAX_shows

Bollywood Hungama report and fan power IMPACT: Project Hail Mary secures shows in ALL 34 IMAX screens in India; Mumbai’s Eros Cinema to play 3:45 am show over the weekend Yesterday morning, Bollywood Hungama informed readers that, despite tough negotiations by the Sony Pictures team, Project Hail Mary was able to secure shows in only 6 out of 34 IMAX screens in India on its release day. The shocking news was widely circulated in the industry and among exhibitors as well as fans, as it highlighted the struggles faced by the Hollywood studio in securing adequate showcasing for its IMAX film in IMAX properties. Thanks to the impact of the Bollywood Hungama story and sustained pressure from the fans, the exhibitors finally relented. From Friday, March 27, Project Hail Mary is being screened in all 34 IMAX properties of the country. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Project Hail Mary is not the only film that would be screened in IMAX. It’ll have to share shows with Dhurandhar The Revenge, which has been remastered in IMAX. Sony never asked for all shows and was okay with show-sharing. Hence, they finally got what they asked for from the very start. ”On the morning of Thursday, March 26, that is, the day of Project Hail Mary’s release, the film managed to get one show each in the 6 IMAX theatres. As the day progressed, the number of shows increased to 13. On Friday, Project Hail Mary has got as many as 65 shows, nearly five times more than the previous day.

SHOCKING: Despite tough negotiations, Project Hail Mary secures shows in ONLY 6 out of 34 IMAX screens in India; efforts underway to increase showcasing Yesterday morning, Bollywood Hungama reported that Project Hail Mary is struggling to secure screens in IMAX properties in India. Dhurandhar The Revenge was released in an IMAX version on Thursday, March 19, in the country, and due to its historic performance, it was expected that both films would share shows in IMAX. In a shocking turn of events, that hasn’t happened in most IMAX screens. As of 8:00 am on March 26, only six out of 34 IMAX theatres in the country are playing Project Hail Mary. The anger among the fans of the Hollywood film is quite visible on social media. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Project Hail Mary is filmed for IMAX and hence for many moviegoers, it is a must-watch in the IMAX theatres. Issues over screen-sharing are very common and it was expected that they would get resolved on the night of Wednesday, March 25. Sadly, that didn’t happen as the studio backing Dhurandhar The Revenge refused to let go of the shows in IMAX. Finally, late at night, Sony Pictures managed to secure 6 shows in 6 different screens in the country. ”An industry insider, on condition of anonymity, told us, “I was checking the booking app every 15 minutes as I was desperate to book tickets in IMAX and I knew that the moment the bookings would commence, all the best seats would be grabbed by other enthusiastic fans.

Project Hail Mary struggles to get screens in India despite healthy advance sales; expected to share shows with Dhurandhar The Revenge in IMAX properties Less than 24 hours remain until the release of Project Hail Mary in India, and fans are disappointed as the booking has yet to open in a full-fledged manner across the board. The biggest grouse among them is that ticket sales have yet to begin in IMAX theatres. The Ryan Gosling-starrer, which released on March 20 in most parts of the world, was pushed by a week in India, to March 26, to avoid a clash with Dhurandhar The Revenge. A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “Project Hail Mary is filmed for IMAX and hence for many moviegoers, it is a must-watch in the IMAX theatres. But the bookings still haven't began though the film releases tomorrow (Thursday, March 26). In all probability, Project Hail Mary will share shows with Dhurandhar 2 in 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. However, on the night of March 24, bookings for Project Hail Mary were suspended at both cinemas. As of 8:00 am on March 25, the only IMAX property in India to have opened bookings for the film is Broadway Cinemas, Coimbatore. It is scheduled to screen the Ryan Gosling-starrer tomorrow at 2:00 pm, and the show is already almost full.

EXCLUSIVE: Dhurandhar The Revenge to miss IMAX conversion; sequel to play in IMAX screens in non-IMAX version Last Saturday, March 7, the bookings for Dhurandhar: The Revenge began in full force for the paid previews, which will be held from the evening of March 18. Today, March 14, viewers will have the opportunity to book tickets for the four-day extended weekend, and it is expected to be huge, based on the response to the previews. The previous part, Dhurandhar (2025), was converted into IMAX and Bollywood Hungama has learned that the sequel won’t be available in the premium format. An exhibition source told Bollywood Hungama, “Dhurandhar: The Revenge will be played in the IMAX screens in India. However, it’ll be a non-IMAX version that’ll be screened in these theatres. This is because the film hasn’t been converted into the IMAX format. Nevertheless, the film is a grand cinematic spectacle and watching even the non-IMAX version in the IMAX screens will be worth it. ”Until recently, Dhurandhar: The Revenge was all set to clash with the Yash-starrer Toxic on March 19. The February 2026 Investor Presentation for Q4 2025 of IMAX mentioned Toxic as one of the possible IMAX releases for the year in India. An industry insider said, “Had both films clashed and if Toxic had managed to do the IMAX conversion in time, it would have had a release in IMAX. Now that Toxic has moved to June 4 and no other IMAX films are running successfully at present, it makes sense to release ... #March #Dhurandhar #Bollywood_Hungama #Revenge #IMAX #IMAX_screens #miss_IMAX #Revenge_began #full_force #IMAX_conversion

IMAX bets big on India: Ramayana, Toxic gets special mention in IMAX quarterly report amid RECORD $1.28 billion global box office earnings in 2025 from 1796 properties IMAX Corporation has outlined an aggressive global growth roadmap in its February 2026 Investor Presentation of Q4 2025, and India emerges as one of the most significant strategic pillars in that expansion.  This and much more interesting information were revealed in their quarterly report. As per the detailed report, globally, IMAX operates 1,796 commercial multiplex locations across 91 countries and territories, commanding over 50% of the global premium format market. Yet what makes India particularly compelling is its content ecosystem. As highlighted in the presentation, a whopping 90% of the overall Indian box office in IMAX cinemas comes from local-language films. Recognizing this structural reality, IMAX is actively building partnerships to expand the number of Indian-language titles formatted and exhibited in IMAX. This is not merely an add-on strategy. It represents a structural pivot toward localization in one of the world’s largest theatrical markets. The company’s broader local-language push is already delivering record results. In 2025, IMAX generated $405 million in local-language box office globally, 66% above the previous full-year record. India is positioned as a key beneficiary of this momentum, especially as IMAX projects 75 local-language titles worldwide in 2026.
