Project Hail Mary has hurtled past the $300 million mark at the global box office, with Imax proving to be a huge draw with cinemagoers.<\/p>\n

The Ryan Gosling-fronted film remains the number one movie in the world, with a $108.6 million global haul in its second weekend. That adds up to an impressive $300.8 million at the global box office \u2014 enough to make Project Hail Mary Amazon MGM\u2019s highest-grossing movie of all time.<\/p>\n

Domestically, Project Hail Mary brought in another $54.5 million, representing a drop of just 32% on opening weekend. It\u2019s now made $164.3 million in North America. Internationally, the Phil Lord and Christopher Miller-directed sci-fi epic had a similarly impressive second weekend hold, bringing in $54.1 million, for a $136.5 million total. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Imax is a big part of Project Hail Mary\u2019s success, with $20.3 million generated across the globe this weekend. That\u2019s down just 27% from weekend one, with the film enjoying positive word of mouth. The North American Imax total is now $33 million, which is 20% of Project Hail Mary\u2019s domestic total. Globally, Project Hail Mary has made $59.6 million at Imax.<\/p>\n

Clearly, Project Hail Mary is a hit. It emerged this week that there\u2019s already talk of turning it into a franchise with a sequel, although Andy Weir, who wrote the novel upon which the movie is based, is said to be \u201cin the driver\u2019s seat\u201d on a potential Project Hail Mary 2. That suggests Weir would have to write a Project Hail Mary sequel before any further adaptations take place.<\/p>\n

Is this likely? In a recent interview with The New York Times<\/u>, Weir was asked if he would ever do a sequel in some way. He replied: \u201cAbsolutely, I have ideas for sequels for Project Hail Mary, but I just don\u2019t have a good enough one yet. My next book, the one I\u2019m working on now, is not a sequel to anything that I\u2019ve written.\u201d<\/p>\n

IGN\u2019s Project Hail Mary review<\/u> 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

Meanwhile, Disney\/Pixar\u2019s Hoppers has now grossed $297.6 million ($138.6 million domestic and $159 million international) after four weekends. It\u2019s the highest grossing animated release globally of 2026 so far. Scream 7 made another another $6.3 million this weekend, which means it\u2019s now up to $204.071 million worldwide.<\/p>\n
