Project Hail Mary Eyes Forrest Gump Box Office Crown
30 May
Summary
- Project Hail Mary has earned $677.3 million globally.
- The film is approximately $1 million shy of Forrest Gump's total.
- It is also set to surpass Doctor Strange's worldwide gross.
As of May 30, 2026, Project Hail Mary is concluding its impressive theatrical run, having achieved a worldwide box office total of $677.3 million. The film has garnered $341.3 million domestically and $336 million internationally over its seventy days in North American theaters. While it is unlikely to reach the $700 million mark, it is poised to achieve other significant box office victories.
Project Hail Mary is on the verge of surpassing the global earnings of the 1994 Academy Award-winning film Forrest Gump, which accumulated $678.2 million, including re-releases. The sci-fi epic is approximately $1 million away from this milestone. Furthermore, it is set to eclipse the worldwide gross of Doctor Strange, which stands at $677.8 million.
This strong performance places Project Hail Mary among the top five highest-grossing films of the year. There remains a possibility it could even surpass the $690.8 million global haul of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. The film, released on March 20, is also available for rent and purchase on digital platforms.
