Can it surpass Oppenheimer at the domestic box office?
According to Box Office Mojo, Project Hail Mary is edging closer to beating the domestic haul of Oppenheimer. For the unversed, Oppenheimer is an epic biographical thriller directed by Christopher Nolan, which won seven Oscars. It was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $330.07 million at the North American box office during its theatrical run.
Since Project Hail Mary is tracking to gross between $330 million and $350 million at the domestic box office before bidding theaters goodbye, it still has a chance of beating Nolan’s Oppenheimer. The Ryan Gosling starrer is around $10 million away from beating the Oscar-winning biopic. It will beat Oppenheimer even if it lands in the lower end of the projection. It has a stronghold at the box office, and with this momentum, it can easily beat the Oscar-winning epic in North America.
