Since its U.S. theatrical release on March 20, 2026, Ryan Gosling’s sci-fi film Project Hail Mary has been leading the North American box office charts. After delivering an impressive $80.5 million domestic opening, it went on to collect $29.3 million from Monday to Thursday. Within just one week in theaters, the Phil Lord and Christopher Miller-directed feature has already overtaken the lifetime domestic earnings of the first Dune film.
With a current domestic total of $109.8 million, the film has surpassed Dune: Part One’s $108.9 million North American haul, according to Box Office Mojo. However, to beat Dune: Part Two’s $282.1 million domestic earnings, it still needs to bring in an additional $172.4 million in North America. At its current pace, the sci-fi film is projected to cross the $150 million mark in the U.S. by the end of this week.
As its ongoing theatrical run continues, Project Hail Mary currently ranks as the third-highest-grossing release of 2026 at the domestic box office, according to Box Office Mojo’s yearly chart. It has already outgrossed titles like GOAT, Wuthering Heights, and Send Help. As of now, it trails only behind Hoppers and Scream 7. Read on to find out how much more it needs to earn to become the highest-grossing domestic release of 2026.
