Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) waking up from coma in Project Hail Mary
Project Hail Mary is shooting for the stars as it broke three major box office records during its opening weekend. Ryan Gosling stars as Ryland Grace in an adaptation of Andy Weir's novel from 2021 of the same name.
Project Hail Mary follows science teacher Grace, who wakes up on a spaceship with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Missing pieces slowly return to his memory, and he soon realizes he must solve the riddle to stop an oncoming ice age and save humanity and the sun from dying. Deadline reports that Project Hail Mary has broken three box office records, including the AmazonMGM Studios record, Phil Lord and Chris Miller's record, and the record for a non-franchise March opening. The movie failed to topple Oppenheimer's record for a non-franchise/non-sequel movie, which is at $82.4 million, but its impressive opening of $80.6 million is still a major achievement. Lord and Miller, who directed the sci-fi epic, previously had their best opening weekend with the animated comedy The Lego Movie , and it's Gosling's second-best opening weekend after Barbie, which grossed $162 million. Oppenheimer's Sunday reached $23.1 million, and at the time of writing, Project Hail Mary is expected to hit $20.3 million. It has been reported that Project Hail Mary has a staggering production budget of $248 million, meaning that in order to break even, the movie will need to make 2.5x its budget, including marketing costs, which will be around the $500 million to $600 million mark. Christopher Nolan's historical drama Oppenheimer produced similar numbers during its opening weekend and managed to gross $975.8 million worldwide at the box office.
