'Project Hail Mary' Writer Credits Not Going Woke For Film's Success

Hollywood has a template now.

It's not complicated.

By Tyler Durden: With an $80.6 million domestic opening weekend, a 95% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 96% audience score, Project Hail Mary is an undeniable blockbuster hit. By its second weekend, the movie crossed $300 million worldwide and dethroned Avatar: Fire and Ash as the top-grossing Hollywood film of 2026 in North America. It’s become the second-biggest non-franchise opening over the past decade, after Oppenheimer.

The Hollywood Reporter published a piece titled "Project Hail Mary: 4 Lessons Hollywood Won't Learn From Its Success," pointing to smart storytelling, sincerity, patience, and practical effects as the pillars behind the film's blockbuster performance. That's a solid four. But, it predictably missed the fifth, and arguably most important point: Don't go woke.

White House Intervenes After Israel Closed Church Of The Holy Sepulchre Ahead Of Easter

"A manifestly unreasonable and grossly disproportionate measure."

By Tyler Durden: Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre was closed by Israeli authorities earlier this month after Iranian missile fragments hit Jerusalem, with restrictions also being placed on who can enter the walled old city - home to all of the most sacred religious sites.

This has resulted in outrage among Christians, however, Israeli officials have said that Al Aqsa Mosque was also closed, and limitations were placed numbers of people visiting the Western Wall - and claimed that all of this was being done as a safety precaution.

But closure of the Holy Sepulchre for Lent and Easter is basically unprecedented in recent history, and Church leaders say it violates the church's historic autonomy under an arrangement called the 'status quo'.

Zelensky Calls For Easter Truce Amid Nightly Russian Drone Assaults

The evil Jewish Dictator of Ukraine Zelensky who notoriously wants to make "Ukraine = Big Israel" and who's fellow Jews just denied Christians access to The Church of The Holy Sepulchre ahead of easter, ironically invokes Christian Easter in plea to Russia for a truce.

By Tyler Durden: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is urging for an Easter holiday ceasefire with Russia, at a moment each side has sent daily and nightly drones and missiles across the border.

"We’re ready for a ceasefire during the Easter holidays," Zelensky told reporters, describing that "normal people who respect life" would seek a permanent ceasefire. "But we’re ready for any compromises, except those involving our dignity and sovereignty," he added.
