With just 3 days until release, Project Hail Mary has surged to No. 1 in advance ticket sales nationwide.

Early press screenings drew strong praise from critics and the domestic media, and regular moviegoers have been enthusiastically recommending the film. That momentum is expected to boost its box-office prospects, positioning it as one of March's must-see releases.
Project Hail Mary follows Grace (Ryan Gosling), who wakes alone in deep space with no memory and must undertake a final mission to save humanity from an extinction-level threat. The film opens in South Korea on March 18.
