Ryan Gosling in Project Hail Mary breaking trailer view records

Project Hail Mary Shatters Trailer Records Months Before Release

Though Ryan Gosling's sci-fi thriller Project Hail Mary won't hit theaters until 2026, the film has already made history by breaking a remarkable trailer viewing record during its first week online.

An Unprecedented Achievement

Director Phil Lord announced this week that the teaser trailer surpassed 400 million views, making it the most-watched debut trailer for any original film that isn't a sequel or remake. The milestone demonstrates extraordinary audience anticipation for this space adventure.

"Holy Moly! Thank you all you glorious generous fans of movies / books / near light speed space travel / the Sun for pushing the trailer for Project Hail Mary past 400 million views - the most in one week for a non-sequel non-remake original film trailer... ever."

Comic-Con Surprises Ahead

Lord hinted at special reveals coming during their San Diego Comic-Con panel, where he'll appear alongside Gosling, co-director Chris Miller, author Andy Weir, and screenwriter Drew Goddard. The creative team is preparing exclusive content for Hall H attendees.

Building on Literary Success

This marks the second adaptation of Weir's work following the blockbuster success of The Martian. That space survival story earned over $630 million worldwide, suggesting strong potential for this new interstellar adventure starring Gosling alongside Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, and other notable talents.

Project Hail Mary launches in theaters worldwide on March 20, 2026.
