Project Hail Mary tops $100M at the U.S. box office

Project Hail Mary crossed $100 million at the U.S. box office on its sixth day of release. The sci-fi adaptation is directed and produced by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, and it benefited from strong word of mouth and emotional audience reactions. The film held the top weekend spot while competing new releases failed to unseat it. Hitting $100 million this quickly matters because it signals studio confidence in mid-budget, adult-oriented sci-fi and will shape summer release strategies.
