Ryan Gosling’s sci-fi spectacle Project Hail Mary continues its winning streak at the North American box office. As the film wraps up its tenth weekend in theatres, it’s now on the verge of overtaking Jurassic World: Rebirth’s domestic haul. Let’s break down how close this high-stakes space odyssey is to claiming the throne.

Weekend Performance & Critical Acclaim

Since its March 20 release, Lord and Miller’s adaptation of Andy Weir’s novel has impressed critics and audiences alike, holding a stellar 94% critics’ score and 95% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Opening with a robust $80.5 million across 4,007 locations, the movie added an estimated $4 million over the May 15–17 weekend despite a 38.6% drop from the previous frame. On Friday, May 22, it garnered an extra $0.6 million, pushing its North American total to $337.5 million.

Chasing Jurassic World: Rebirth

According to Box Office Mojo’s 2026 leaderboard, Project Hail Mary has climbed to the second spot domestically, trailing only Super Mario Galaxy Movie’s $421.2 million. More intriguingly, it’s now squarely in Jurassic World: Rebirth’s crosshairs. The Scarlett Johansson vehicle currently sits at $339.6 million in North America, meaning Gosling’s interstellar mission needs just about $2.1 million more to overtake the dinosaur blockbuster.

Global Standings

Project Hail Mary Worldwide: $670.7M (Domestic $337.5M + Intl $333.2M)
Jurassic World: Rebirth Worldwide: $869.1M (Domestic $339.6M + Intl $529.5M)

While the gap of $198.4 million worldwide is too vast to close at this stage, the domestic duel remains a nail-biter.

What’s the Hype About?

Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Project Hail Mary stars Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace, a teacher who awakens alone aboard a spacecraft with no memory of his mission. Gradually, he uncovers that he’s humanity’s last hope against a phenomenon draining the Sun’s energy and threatening Earth’s survival.

With only a few million more needed to eclipse Jurassic World: Rebirth on home turf, Gosling’s cosmic journey has become one of 2026’s most exciting box office sagas. Stay tuned as Project Hail Mary attempts its final push!
