“Project Hail Mary” easily claimed the top spot at the Friday box office, already flexing its longevity as 2026’s first major four-quadrant hit.

“Project Hail Mary” grossed $14.6 million on its second Friday in North American theaters, and should earn $53.1 million by Sunday. That figure represents a solid hold, dropping just 34% from the opening weekend numbers. Through two weekends of release, Amazon MGM’s interplanetary epic is projected to make $162.9 million domestically.
