Thanks primarily to the ongoing blockbuster run of Project Hail Mary, its spiritual precursor is witnessing a major viewership spike at home. Project Hail Mary stars Ryan Gosling in the lead role of a scientist-turned-schoolteacher who is sent on a dangerous intergalactic mission to save the world. The movie has grossed more than $500 million worldwide against a reported budget of $250 million.

In the next few days, it should be able to overtake the lifetime worldwide box-office haul of its spiritual precursor, which was released over a decade ago. Project Hail Mary has already overtaken the movie in question at the domestic box office.
