“PROJECT HAIL MARY” EARNS $54.5M IN SECOND WEEKEND, TOPS BOX OFFICE

Project Hail Mary remained the top film at the box office, earning $54.5 million in its second weekend and reaching $300.8 million globally in just two weeks. The sci-fi film starring Ryan Gosling saw only a 32% drop, outperforming the second-weekend hold of Oppenheimer and showing strong long-term potential. New release They Will Kill You debuted with $5 million, reflecting signs of audience fatigue as horror films continue to saturate theaters. Meanwhile, family film Hoppers stayed strong in second place with $12.2 million, nearing $300 million globally. Industry analysts note that while horror remains profitable, oversupply may impact performance, as major upcoming releases like The Super Mario Galaxy Movie are expected to dominate the box office next.
