Hollywood can still make great movies

“Project Hail Mary” is proof.

Based upon the novel of the same name by author Andy Weir (who also wrote “The Martian”), the science fiction film released by Amazon MGM Studios has already grossed more than $600 million worldwide, on a $190 million budget. The film had the highest opening box office revenues so far this year, and the best opening for any Amazon film ever.

In fact, “Project Hail Mary” has enjoyed so much success that its theatrical run has been extended before it goes to streaming.
