Having completed another successful weekend at the box office, Project Hail Maryis on the path to the $600 million milestone worldwide. The sci-fi blockbuster reportedly cost more than $200 million to produce and likely millions more to market. But it's already being seen as a major win for Amazon MGM Studios, and it'll likely benefit from a recently announced delay to its Prime Video release.
Project Hail Mary is based on a bestseller by Andy Weir, who also wrote the novel that inspired The Martian. That film, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Matt Damon, grossed $630 million worldwide against a reported budget of around $110 million. However, this was back in 2015, when Hollywood could still count on Russia and China for significant revenue.
