How big is the projector?

They aren't very big these days, butterfly style toggle bolts would absolutely hold it up with confidence.

Just be mindful when installing if there is insulation above.

It’s not too heavy, but heavy enough that I wouldn’t be comfortable with just drywall anchors. Same with the projector screen.

I wouldn't be comfortable with plug style anchors either.

Butterfly anchors on the other hand are not just adequate, they're ideal. There is 0 movement, shaking or jiggling here either ....once you snug it up tight, it's mounted until you take it down.

The projector screen, depending on size and if it's the kind that rolls up and down - yea, you'd want that into something structural.

I used these to hang both a projector and a projector screen from the ceiling drywall in an apartment back in college. They worked fine.
