Project Hail Mary, directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and adapted by Drew Goddard from Andy Weir's novel, began streaming worldwide on Amazon Prime Video on July 3, 2026, after an initial Amazon MGM+ debut on June 18 [1, 2, 3]. The film follows Ryland Grace (played by Ryan Gosling), a schoolteacher turned space mission solo survivor who befriends an alien named Rocky to save their planets [1, 3].
The film originally opened in theaters on March 20, 2026, grossing $344 million domestically and $339.5 million internationally, for a total of $683.5 million worldwide [3]. It became available for digital rental and purchase on May 12 before debuting exclusively on MGM+ mid-June, part of Amazon MGM Studios' staggered release strategy that included a premium video-on-demand rental window [1, 2, 3].
Prime Video offers streaming access as part of its $14.99 monthly or $139 yearly Prime membership plans, or via an $8.99 monthly Prime Video-only subscription. Additionally, Amazon recently introduced Prime Video Ultra, an ad-free 4K tier costing an extra $4.99 per month [2, 3].
Reviews have praised the film, with IGN calling it "thrilling, heartfelt, and hilarious," while Polygon said it delivers "everything fans of the book could want — and it’s a whole lot of fun for everyone else, too." [1, 2]
Physical releases of Project Hail Mary on Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD are slated for August 11, 2026, followed by a special SteelBook edition on October 13 [1, 2]. Amazon and Maze Studios also plan to launch a mixed reality experience titled Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars later this year, involving the author Andy Weir [2].
