Ryan Gosling’s Project Hail Mary is new on digital streaming Tuesday as the blockbuster space adventure continues to soar at the worldwide box office.

Based on The Martian author Andy Weir’s bestselling novel of the same name, Project Hail Mary opened in theaters on March 20. Gosling stars in the film as Ryland Grace, a middle school science teacher-turned-astronaut who wakes up light-years from home with no recollection of how he got aboard the spaceship he is riding on. As Ryland regains his memory, he plows ahead in the mission at hand, which is to solve the mystery behind a substance that is causing the sun to die out and will eventually put all of Earth’s inhabitants in peril.

While on his interstellar mission, Ryland encounters a spider-shaped alien made of rocks whom he calls Rocky (voice of James Ortiz). Once the two learn how to communicate, Rocky explains that his planet is also facing the same sort of situation where its sun is dying, so together they must work on a solution to save the lives of both humans and the alien’s fellow extraterrestrial beings.

Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Project Hail Mary is adapted for the screen by Drew Goddard, and also stars Sandra Hüller, Milana Vayntrub, Ken Leung and Liz Kingsman.

Project Hail Mary arrived on digital streaming via premium video on demand at 12 a.m. ET on Tuesday, May 12, a new listing by Prime Video confirms. The pending release was first reported by When to Stream. The film, which costs $24.99 to purchase on PVOD or $19.99 to rent for 48 hours, is also available on Fandango at Home. It should be available on Apple TV and You Tube Movies & TV sometime on Tuesday.

While Project Hail Mary’s studio, Amazon MGM Studios, never formally announced the PVOD release, the film’s May 12 digital release date was revealed in a YouTube ad from the studio (see below) on Sunday. Additionally, confirmation of Project Hail Mary’s PVOD release happened on Sunday when the film was made available to purchase or rent on in Prime Video in the U.K.

The release of Project Hail Mary on digital comes after Amazon MGM studios announced in mid-April that it was delaying the film’s streaming release and extending its theatrical run, which included a one-week return to IMAX theaters to give theatergoers an opportunity to see the film in the way it was originally intended.

The PVOD release of Project Hail Mary also marks a departure for Amazon MGM Studios, which generally bypasses the release of its films on digital streaming in favor of a direct release of them on streaming video on demand on Amazon’s Prime Video streaming platform first. Typically, Amazon MGM films arrive on SVOD on Prime Video about 45 days, give or take, after they premiere in theaters.
