    “Project Hail Mary” Blasts Off With $80.5 Million, A Box Office Best For Amazon MGM

    Sunday, March 22, 2026

    "Project Hail Mary" is bringing audiences to movie theaters in numbers the industry hasn't seen for a non-franchise film since "Oppenheimer." The science fiction epic starring Ryan Gosling earned around $80.5 million in ticket sales in its first weekend playing in North America, according to studio estimates Sunday.

    Internationally, "Project Hail Mary" earned $60.4 million from 82 markets, bringing its global total to $140.9 million.
