Ryan Gosling‘s “Project Hail Mary” is blasting off at the box office.

Amazon MGM’s sci-fi movie, based on author Andy Weir’s popular novel, has made $12 million in previews at the box office, the biggest of the year so far. It beat the $7.8 million preview haul by “Scream 7,” and it could overtake the horror movie for the highest box office opening of 2026.

“Project Hail Mary” is projected to make between $63 million and $65 million in its opening weekend, which would make it Amazon MGM’s biggest launch ever. The company’s current opening record is held by the 2023 boxing movie “Creed III” with $58 million. With good reviews and positive word-of-mouth, the $200 million film could become the studio’s first original blockbuster.
