There was a very real danger of history repeating itself for Ryan Goslingthis year, but he seems to have avoided it with trademark charm and plenty of razzle-dazzle. A couple of years ago, he starred alongside Emily Blunt in the action-comedy film The Fall Guy, which was given the responsibility of kicking off the summer movie season in 2024. The movie premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival, followed by a weeks-long marketing blitz highlighting its excellent reviews. Everyone expected the buzz to reach a crescendo by release day and for the movie to post a massive win at the box office. But that didn't happen; The Fall Guy underperformed in its opening weekend, grossing only $28 million. Gosling found himself in a similar position this year, with his new movie earning even better reactions in the run-up to its release this week. But unlike The Fall Guy, Gosling's new movie, Project Hail Mary, is blowing past box-office projections.
