The film 'Project Hail Mary' (directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, distributed by Sony Pictures) has surpassed 1 million viewers amid a flood of enthusiastic audience reviews.
The film 'Project Hail Mary,' which stood out by rising to the No. 1 overall reservation rate three days before its release, has finally surpassed 1 million viewers amid a steady box office relay.

This draws attention for its faster box office pace than 'F1 the Movie,' which drew 5.2 million cumulative viewers in 2025 and surpassed 1 million on its 13th day in release.
In particular, 'Project Hail Mary' is further cementing its position for long-running success with an unrelenting shower of positive audience reviews. "The life-changing sci-fi movie of the year" (Naver_dltk****), "The best sci-fi movie I've seen so far" (CGV_happySmurf****), "It's not an exaggeration to call this the best sci-fi movie of 2026" (CGV_happyHarleyQuinn****) and other assessments say the film has reopened the door for the sci-fi genre, which had seen a slowdown in recent years, and reactions predicting multiple viewings are pouring in, such as "I'll definitely watch it again. Highly recommend" (Naver_gde0****), "Will you go see it again? Question! If asked, I would go see it again — that's how good the sci-fi is. I 100% recommend it to people around me!!" (CGV_beautifulBobeep****), "The immersion is insane. It's so fun that I recommend it to people after watching" (CGV_joyfulBell****), "Happy happy happy, joy joy joy, see it again see it again see it again!" (CGV_sleepingFuriosa****).
In addition, affectionate praise is pouring in for the character 'Rocky,' who is causing a social media phenomenon, such as "Even the stone makes me cry" (Naver_mina****) and "Rocky, friendship, friend. Question?" (Naver_wngu****), and recommendations say the film is also good for families, such as "There are touching stories, so it seems good to watch with family" (Naver_kmms****) and "A movie that's good to watch with family. The ending was touching" (CGV_wiseWoo****), indicating that beyond the main 20s and 30s audience, family audiences are also likely to watch, so steady box office performance is expected to continue.
The film 'Project Hail Mary' depicts the journey of 'Grace' (Ryan Gosling), who wakes up alone in the middle of space with no memory and undertakes the final mission to save humanity from an apocalyptic threat.
