Project Hail Mary Surpasses The Sixth Sense With $679 Million

Project Hail Mary, starring Ryan Gosling in what amounts to a one-man show, has reached $679 million worldwide. The film’s emotional story of a lonely scientist who becomes humanity’s last hope continues to draw audiences during its international run. That total pushes Project Hail Mary past The Sixth Sense, M.

Night Shyamalan’s 1999 breakout and his highest-grossing film, which earned over $672 million. In 1999 the top earner remained Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace at $924 million. Only Michael and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, at $851 million and $992 million respectively, sit above the Gosling film on this year’s list.

Project Hail Mary opened before those two and has maintained momentum even after its digital release. The 2026 box office has proved unpredictable: franchise tentpoles remain prominent, but surprises abound.
