It's a good idea to drill some very small exploratory holes and insert a bent coat hanger to rotate above the ceiling. You don't want to find you're drilling under a joist. Next to a joist is really good for strength to hold the weight of the fan. Or use a fan rated bracket. A 2 x 4 backer above the box works well, too.

I've seen it done with half of an old basket ball, catches all the debris.
