Ryan Gosling floating sideways in 'Project Hail Mary'

The phenomenal run that Project Hail Mary has been on won't slow down any time soon. The sci-fi epic exceeded expectations in its box-office debut, grossing $80 million domestically and $140 million worldwide.

Granted, the movie has a massive $200 million budget to recoup, but it's well on track to do so. In fact, as things stand, it might even surpass the $630 million worldwide haul of Ridley Scott's The Martian, which, like Project Hail Mary, was based on a bestseller by Andy Weir. However, before it can celebrate that achievement, Project Hail Mary has two new reasons to cheer. Ahead of its second weekend in theaters, the movie passed its first major milestone domestically by overtaking one of the greatest movies that the sci-fi genre has produced in the past decade. Project Hail Mary's running gross stands at more than $100 million domestically and more than $160 million worldwide. Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the movie stars Ryan Gosling in the lead role. It opened to fantastic reviews and is now sitting at a"Certified Fresh" 95% critics' score and a"Verified Hot" 96% audience score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The site's consensus reads,"A visually dazzling space odyssey that's carried along effortlessly by the gravitational pull of Ryan Gosling at his most winning, Project Hail Mary is a near-miraculous fusion of smarts and heart."

Posts By Macklen Makhloghi 'Project Hail Mary' Has Already Overtaken a Stone-Cold Sci-Fi Classic The movie is surpassing the $109 million domestic gross of Denis Villeneuve's Dune as we speak. Serving as the first installment of Villeneuve's ambitious adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel, Dune opened to excellent reviews in 2021. However, the film's theatrical gross was impacted by Warner Bros.' controversial decision to release it day-and-date on the HBO Max streaming service. The studio did this with each movie on its 2021 slate, which caused a stir in the industry. Amid the push-back, Christopher Nolan severed ties with the studio and moved to Universal, where he made Oppenheimer. Universal will also release his upcoming epic, The Odyssey, although it was reported that W.B. tried to court him to return now that the previous management is no longer around. Dune holds an 83% score on Rotten Tomatoes; the movie was hailed for its breathtaking visuals and the performances of its cast, headlined by Timothée Chalamet. Dune: Part Two was given a massive theatrical release in 2024, with Nolan helping promote it. Dune: Part Three is due out in November this year. 9 10 Project Hail Mary Like Follow Followed PG-13 Science Fiction Adventure Drama Release Date March 20, 2026 Runtime 156 Minutes Director Christopher Miller, Phil Lord Writers Drew Goddard, Andy Weir Producers Ryan Gosling, Amy Pascal, Andy Weir, Aditya Sood, Christopher Miller, Phil Lord, Rachel O'Connor Cast See All
