    More context on the movies

    • Project Hail Mary: the story of the weekend by a mile. It opened to the biggest domestic debut of 2026, became Amazon MGM’s best opening ever, and played like a true four-quadrant event movie.
    • Hoppers: a very good third-week hold for a family title, down 37.2%. It didn’t stay #1, but it still looks like one of the year’s strongest original animation wins.
    • Dhurandhar The Revenge: a strong specialty breakout, launching big enough to take third domestically and post a major worldwide start.
    • Ready or Not 2: Here I Come: a decent horror-sequel debut, but softer than the title probably wanted given the brand familiarity.
    • Reminders of Him: a sharp second-week drop, but still holding in the top five and playing well enough with its core audience.
    • Scream 7: down under 50% in week 4 and now above $114M domestic, which keeps it firmly in hit territory.
    • GOAT: one of the steadiest holds in the top 10 again, down just 25.1% and closing in on $100M domestic.
    • Undertone: the breakout horror hit from last weekend came back to earth with a 66.8% drop, but on its budget and start it’s still a clear win.
    • The Pout-Pout Fish: a modest family counterprogramming launch that cracked the top 10, though at a very small level.
    • Wuthering Heights: the Valentine corridor success story is finally winding down, but it’s still hanging around after six weekends.

    Overall context

    • This was a huge “one movie changes everything” weekend. Project Hail Mary didn’t just open big — it gave the domestic box office a major jolt and turned a normal March frame into one of the year’s strongest weekends.
    • The rest of the chart was mostly about holds: Hoppers stayed strong, GOAT kept grinding, and Scream 7 continued its solid run.
