Scope Cinemas held an Early Access Screening of ‘Project Hail Mary’ starring Ryan Gosling, in IMAX at the Havelock City Mall – the audience were able to enjoy the movie two days in advance before its release on 20th March 2026.

The early access screening of Project Hail Mary at Scope Cinemas’ IMAX theatre is a masterclass in immersive sci-fi, offering fans an exclusive first look at Andy Weir’s celebrated novel brought to life.

For those lucky enough to see Project Hail Mary before its general release, watching the film on Sri Lanka’s largest, specially-engineered IMAX screen isn’t just watching a movie—it’s a full-throttle leap into the Tau Ceti system that truly does justice to the epic scale of the story.
