With a stellar 94% critics’ rating and 95% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Ryan Gosling’s sci-fi film Project Hail Mary not only ranks among the many highest-rated movies of 2026 but can also be considered one of the best-reviewed movies of the Hollywood actor’s profession. Beyond its positive critical reception, it has also performed impressively on the box office and has earned $677.1 million worldwide against a $200 million budget. On the time of writing, it ranks because the third-highest-grossing movie of 2026, in accordance with Box Office Mojo.
Project Hail Mary – Box Office Summary
- North America: $341.1 million
- International: $336 million
- Worldwide: $677.1 million
Since Project Hail Mary has accomplished nearly ten weeks in theaters and is now within the later stages of its theatrical run, its box office momentum has naturally slowed. Consequently, it could now be unable to achieve some milestones at this stage. Let’s take a take a look at three major box office milestones that seem like out of reach during its original theatrical run.
Milestone No. 1 – $400 Million Domestic Goal
With a current North American total of $341.1 million, Project Hail Mary is in need of the $400 million domestic milestone by roughly $58.9 million. Over the May 22-24 weekend, the film collected $2.7 million, and the drops are expected to get sharper from here on. So, it appears the Ryan Gosling-starrer could miss its $400 million domestic goal.
Milestone No. 2 – $700 Million Worldwide Mark
As of now, the film’s worldwide total stands at $677.1 million. Which means that it remains to be around $22.9 million away from hitting the $700 million worldwide mark. Although $22.9 million is just not an enormous gap to shut, keeping in mind the film’s current stage in its theatrical run and competition from newer releases like Obsession, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, and Michael, achieving this milestone is just not as easy because it looks. That said, the ultimate box office verdict might be clear in the approaching weeks.
Milestone No. 3 – All-Time Top 150 Movies Worldwide List
In line with Box Office Mojo, Project Hail Mary currently holds the 168th rank among the many all-time highest-grossing movies on the worldwide box office. To enter the highest 150 all-time global list, it must beat Mufasa: The Lion King’s $722.6 million worldwide haul. To surpass that film, it needs so as to add greater than $45.5 million to its global total. At this stage, it seems unlikely that the film can close this substantial gap and crack the all-time Top 150 list. As we said earlier, the ultimate final result might be clear in the approaching weeks.
What’s Project Hail Mary About?
Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the film follows Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling), a schoolteacher who wakes up alone on an interstellar spacecraft with no memory of how he got there. As his memories steadily return, he discovers he has been sent on a high-stakes mission to stop a mysterious phenomenon that’s draining the Sun’s energy and threatening life on Earth.
