Project Hail Mary has launched big at the global box office, bringing in an impressive $140 million during its opening weekend.<\/p>\n

The Ryan Gosling-fronted film earned $80,583,746 domestically and $60.4 million internationally, for an impressive $140,983,746 global total. It\u2019s only the third non-sequel or non-franchise movie to open above $50 million internationally in the post-COVID era (since 2020), sitting alongside Oppenheimer and F1: The Movie. On a like-for-like basis excluding China, Project Hail Mary’s opening weekend is on par with Interstellar and Dune. It’s also secured the biggest global debut of 2026 so far, beating Scream 7\u2019s $97 million opening weekend.<\/p>\n

$27.6 million of the total opening weekend box office came from IMAX, showing the demand to watch the Phil Lord and Christopher Miller-directed sci-fi epic on enormous screens. Indeed, IMAX made up 20.3% of the domestic total, making it just the third film in IMAX history to index over 20% with an overall opening greater than $80 million.<\/p>\n

Project Hail Mary is comfortably Amazon MGM Studios’ highest grossing film debut, surpassing Creed III (Amazon\u2019s next big-budget release in theaters this year is Masters of the Universe in June). According to Variety, Project Hail Mary carried a $200 million budget, so it still has some way to go before it moves into profit during its theatrical run. But based on this start, it has a decent chance of doing so.<\/p>\n

IGN\u2019s Project Hail Mary review returned an 8\/10. We said: \u201cProject Hail Mary is a rollicking sci-fi blockbuster celebrating how much we can accomplish when we work together\u2026 and how much meet-cute mileage you can get out of watching Ryan Gosling befriend a rock alien for two and a half hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Disney \/ Pixar’s Hoppers has grossed an estimated $242.6 million ($120.4 million domestic and $122.2 million international) after three weekends. Scream 7 added another $10.5 million globally this weekend, making for a new total of $193.835 million. Wuthering Heights is now up to $234.4 million.<\/p>\n
