Welcome to **The** **Box Office Report** for the weekend of March 27-29, 2026. ## 1\. Project Hail Mary *Weekend gross: *$54.5M** *Total domestic gross: *$164.3M** *Last weekend: *1st** *Percent drop: *32** *Project Hail Mary* continues its (inter)stellar box office performance. With chatter about Amazon MGM Studios being very much interested in another outing with **Ryan Gosling** and Rocky, the adaptation soared to a $54.5 million second weekend. After just two weekends, *Project Hail Mary* is now the highest grossing movie released in 2026, leaping over *Hoppers*. (More on that one in a second.) That reign will likely be short-lived, though, with *The Super Mario Galaxy Movie* opening this Wednesday and [tracking for a five-day debut over $160 million](https://deadline.com/2026/03/super-mario-galaxy-movie-box-office-forecast-1236751755/?ref=theomnicosm.com). ![Popculturology](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/02/popculturology-wordmark.png) Welcome to Popculturology!

Hoppers *Weekend gross: *$12.2M** *Total domestic gross: *$138.6M** *Last weekend: *2nd** *Percent drop: *31** While *Hoppers*’ time as the year’s biggest animated film will also likely come to an end this week, it continues to perform exceptionally well. Through four weekends in theaters, Pixar’s latest film has posted weekend-to-weekend drops of 37 percent, 38 percent and 31 percent. Maybe it’s the lack of family fare in theaters, but people seemingly like giving *Hoppers* their money. The film has now passed *The Good Dinosaur* ($123.1 million) on Pixar’s all-time domestic box office chart. ALSO FROM THE OMNICOSM Love what you’re reading?

They Will Kill You *Weekend gross: *$5M** *Total domestic gross: *$5M** *Last weekend: *New release** *Percent drop: *NA** Yikes. Warner Bros. can’t be happy with this one. A $5 million opening weekend for the **Zazie Beetz** film (executive produced by *It* and *The Flash* director **Andy Muschietti** and his wife, **Barbara Muschietti**). It’ll be hard for *They Will Kill You* to come back from a debut like this. ## 4\. Dhurandhar: The Revenge *Weekend gross: *$4.745M** *Total domestic gross: *$22.8M** *Last weekend: *3rd** *Percent drop: *53** The Indian film not only continued to hold off *Reminders of Him* and *Ready or Not 2: Here I Come*, it came close to beating *They Will Kill You* too.

Reminders of Him *Weekend gross: *$4.7M** *Total domestic gross: *$41.1M** *Last weekend: *5th** *Percent drop: *41** *Reminders of Him* is *almost* to what *It Ends With Us*, the previous adaptation of a **Colleen Hoover** book, opened with. Let’s see if it can match that $50 million mark in another weekend or two. *Box office numbers via The Numbers and Box Office Mojo based on Sunday estimates.* ![Popculturology](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/02/popculturology-wordmark.png) Popculturology is a publication of **The Omnicosm**.
