Jonathan OlleyProject Hail Mary, the sci-fi epic starring Ryan Gosling, maintains a strong domestic showing at the box office, bagging 54.5 million in its second weekend. The film, which centers around a science teacher on a mission to save the world from the dying sun, is based on the 2021 book by Andy Weir. Project Hail Mary earned 80.6 million in its opening weekend.
Worldwide, the movie has already earned over 300 million, making it Amazon MGM’s highest-grossing film ever. The success of the feature is a win for Amazon, which has committed to investing heavily in theatrical releases in order to further establish itself as a major Hollywood player. Still, its box office reign will likely end after the release of the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie, featuring recognizable stories and characters from Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. universe.Read it at The WrapRead more at The Daily Beast.
