Ryan Gosling made a surprise appearance at a New York movie theater on the opening night of his latest big-screen blockbuster, “Project Hail Mary.”

Welcoming a packed audience, Gosling flipped the script on who is responsible for keeping cinemas afloat amid the rise of streaming and falling box office numbers.

“Six years ago, I got the manuscript,” Gosling said, referring to “Project Hail Mary.” “[It’s] the most ambitious thing I’ll ever make; it seemed impossible. It was too good not to give it a shot. Six years later, we did it. Here we are, we’re all back in theaters. It’s not your job to keep them open, it’s our job to make things that make it worth you coming out.”
