About
Ryan Gosling's Project Hail Mary just opened to $140.9 million globally and a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, but here's the problem nobody wants to talk about: the movie cost $200 million to make, which means right now it's not a hit, it's a very expensive science experiment that needs to keep selling tickets. It's only the third non-franchise film to open above $70 million in the past decade, and it has exactly two weeks before The Super Mario Galaxy Movie takes all its IMAX screens and probably destroys everything in its path. So yeah, Gosling might've just saved original blockbusters or proved they're too risky to exist—we'll know which one pretty soon.
