Ryan Gosling looking terrified in Project Hail Mary.
After completing a full month of release in theaters worldwide, Project Hail Mary was re-released in prime IMAX venues for one week. The movie has also been given an extension to its theatrical run by Amazon, delaying its debut on the Prime Video streaming service and increasing its chances of breaking new box-office records.
As things stand, the film is projected to pass the $300 million mark domestically and the $700 million mark worldwide by the end of its run, which would put it in the same bracket as iconic sci-fi hits such as Interstellar, Dune: Part Two, and The Martian. In its fifth weekend of release, Project Hail Mary closed the gap between itself and Ridley Scott's sci-fi blockbuster, which was also based on a bestselling novel by Andy Weir. Project Hail Mary stars Ryan Gosling and marks the directorial comeback of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. They've spent the last several years producing and shepherding various projects, having recovered from the setback of an unexpected firing. Lord and Miller were in production on Solo: A Star Wars Story around a decade ago when a creative clash with Lucasfilm resulted in their ouster. This puts the gap between their directorial efforts at more than a decade. But they couldn't have asked for a better comeback than Project Hail Mary, which has received near-unanimous praise from critics and audiences in addition to its box-office success. It now stands at a"Certified Fresh" 94% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. COLLIDER Collider · Quiz Collider Exclusive · Marvel Personality Quiz Which MCU Hero Are You? Spider-Man · Daredevil · Iron Man · Punisher · Thor · Cap Six heroes. One destiny. Answer 10 questions to discover which Marvel Cinematic Universe hero shares your personality, values, and fighting spirit. Will you swing, fly, or thunder your way to glory? 🕷️Spider-Man 😈Daredevil 🤖Iron Man 💀Punisher ⚡Thor 🛡️Cap FIND YOUR HERO → QUESTION 1 / 10MOTIVATION 01 What drives you to do what's right? Choose the answer that feels most like you. AWith great power comes great responsibility — I protect those who can't protect themselves. BMy faith and my conscience — I believe justice must be served, even in the dark. CLegacy and ego, honestly — but I've learned that others depend on me now. DThe system failed. Someone has to make sure the guilty actually pay. EDuty to the innocent and honour to my name — I was born to protect realms. FThe values I was raised with — freedom, decency, and never backing down from a bully. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 2 / 10YOUR CITY 02 It's 2 AM. Where are you? Your answer says more about you than you'd think. ASwinging between skyscrapers, keeping an eye on the neighbourhood. BRunning rooftops in Hell's Kitchen, listening for trouble. CIn my lab, upgrading my suit with a cold cup of coffee nearby. DStaking out a target I've been tracking for three weeks. ESomewhere between the stars, or at a feast that got out of hand. FOn a morning run — I was up at 4, actually. Couldn't sleep. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 3 / 10CONFLICT STYLE 03 How do you handle a villain who keeps escaping justice? Every hero has a method. What's yours? AWeb them up and leave them for the police — again. BBuild an airtight case and dismantle their entire operation from the inside. CDeploy a containment system I designed specifically for them. Tech wins. DMake sure they don't escape a third time. Permanently. EChallenge them to single combat. Honour demands a decisive end. FRally allies, adapt the plan, and bring them in — by the book, even if it's hard. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 4 / 10SECRET IDENTITY 04 How do you feel about keeping a secret identity? The mask — or the lack of one — says everything. AEssential — my loved ones would be in danger if anyone found out who I am. BCritical — the mask protects my mission as much as my face. COverrated — I announced myself to the world and I'd do it again. DI'm a ghost. The less people know about me, the better. EMy name is known across the Nine Realms. There's no hiding it. FI don't hide — but I understand why some need to. Transparency builds trust. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 5 / 10LOSS & GRIEF 05 You've lost someone important because of your heroism. How do you carry that? Every hero pays a price. The question is how they pay it. AWith guilt that never fully goes away — it pushes me to do better, every single day. BI channel it into purpose — their memory is the reason I keep fighting. CI buried myself in work for years. I'm only recently learning to face it. DIt transformed me completely. I'm not the same person I was before. EWith warrior's grief — I honour them by fighting with everything I have. FI keep moving forward. Stopping means letting the loss win. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 6 / 10TEAM DYNAMICS 06 What's your role when working with a team? Who you are under pressure is who you actually are. AThe enthusiastic wildcard who somehow makes it work — and keeps the mood up. BThe strategist who works best alone but shows up when it matters most. CThe one who funds it, equips it, and occasionally takes over the whole operation. DI don't do teams. I'm more effective operating solo, on my terms. EThe heavy hitter — I crash in, draw fire, and turn the tide of battle. FThe leader — I earn trust, build the plan, and make sure no one gets left behind. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 7 / 10MORAL CODE 07 Where do you draw the line between justice and revenge? The answer defines what kind of hero you really are. AClearly — I don't kill, and I wrestle with that line constantly. BI try to hold the line, but I've come terrifyingly close to crossing it. CPractically — I do what's necessary to protect people, including hard calls. DI crossed that line long ago. What I do is justice — the system just won't admit it. EIn battle, victory is justice. Mercy is earned — not automatic. FFirmly. The moment we abandon our principles, we become what we fight against. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 8 / 10EVERYDAY LIFE 08 When you're not saving the world, what does life look like? The person behind the mask is always the more interesting story. ATrying to juggle school, a part-time job, and not failing my friends. BWorking as a lawyer by day, fighting for justice in court and on the streets. CRunning a global company, attending galas, and pretending I'm sleeping enough. DQuiet. Isolated. Surviving with a clear mission and no distractions. ENavigating a bizarre and fascinating mortal world — coffee is extraordinary. FAdapting to a world decades ahead of everything I knew. Quietly, stubbornly. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 9 / 10FEAR 09 What keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you're honest about what you're actually afraid of. AThe people I couldn't save — and the ones I might not reach in time tomorrow. BWhether the monster I fight every night is starting to live inside me too. CThe threats I can see coming and whether my tech is actually good enough. DNothing. Silence is the only peace I get. I've made my choices. EWhether I'm truly worthy — of the hammer, of the throne, of the people I protect. FA world where no one stands up anymore. Where good people do nothing. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 10 / 10FINAL STAND 10 The battle is lost. You're outnumbered, outgunned, and exhausted. What do you do? This is your tiebreaker — choose carefully. ACrack a joke to buy a second, then find the one web shot that changes everything. BBlock out everything except the sound of the next threat — and keep going. CActivate the emergency protocol I built for exactly this scenario. Always have a plan. DI don't accept that it's lost. I keep fighting until I physically cannot anymore. ECall the lightning. All of it. The storm answers to me. FPick up the shield. Stand up. Because as long as I can stand, it's not over.

Globally, the movie is projected to finish the weekend at around the $600 million mark. As we speak, Project Hail Mary is overtaking the $521 million worldwide gross of Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which debuted in 2025 to major fanfare but underwhelming results. The movie was expected to function as a defibrillator to bring the struggling MCU back to life, but it fell short of expectations both critically and commercially. Directed by Matt Shakman, The Fantastic Four: First Steps marked Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach's debut as Marvel's First Family. They will reprise their roles in this year's Avengers: Doomsday.
