The film was released against ''[[Project Hail Mary (film)|Project Hail Mary]]'' causing Anthony D'Alessandro to write in [[Deadline Hollywood|Deadline]] "Frankly, I’m shocked. Yeah, sure, some people in distribution-land are like, “Disney doesn’t know how to open a horror film,” but for all that is hip in Ready or Not 2‘s casting with Sarah Michelle Gellar, Elijah Wood and Kathryn Newton, the Buffy headlines, the cult appeal of Radio Silence, and the SXSW world premiere of it all, you’d think that Ready or Not 2 would break out and become a spring event movie. There’s something missing here, it could be as simple as the sequel’s core 18-34 audience (59% here) are buying tickets to Project Hail Mary first."{{cite web |last=D'Alessandro |first=Anthony |date=March 22, 2026 |title=‘Project Hail Mary’ Full Of Grace: $80M U.S. Box Office Opening Breaks Records For Amazon MGM, Lord & Miller And March Non-Franchise Pic – Sunday Update |url=https://deadline.com/2026/03/box-office-project-hail-mary-ready-or-not-2-1236761181/|archive-date=March 22, 2026 |access-date=March 22, 2026 |website=[[Deadline Hollywood]]}}
