Amazon MGM Studios

After surpassing the $650 million mark at the box office, Ryan Gosling’s science-fiction hit Project Hail Mary is now available to stream at home on digital video-on-demand platforms like Prime Video, Apple TV and more.

Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, with a screenplay by Drew Goddard, the movie is based on the bestselling 2021 novel of the same name by “The Martian” author Andy Weir. Gosling plays Ryland Grace, the sole survivor of a last-chance mission in space that is critical to the survival of humanity. Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung and Milana Vayntrub also star.

“Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship with no recollection of who he is or how he got there,” the synopsis reads. “As his memory slowly returns, he soon discovers he must solve the riddle behind a mysterious substance that's causing the sun to die out. As details of the mission unravel, he calls on his scientific training and sheer ingenuity, but he may not have to do it alone."

Which Streaming Service Will Project Hail Mary Eventually Land On?

Project Hail Mary is being distributed by Amazon MGM Studios, which has expanded its theatrical strategy following Amazon’s 2022 acquisition of MGM. The New York Times reported in April 2025 that the studio plans to release around 14 major commercial films in theaters worldwide each year.

In the past, Amazon’s theatrical release strategy varied widely. Some films, like Air, received a 37-day exclusive theatrical window before becoming available digitally, while others, such as Red One, arrived on Prime Video relatively quickly after debuting in theaters.

According to The Times Amazon MGM Studios movies are expected to spend about 45 days in theaters before arriving on digital video-on-demand platforms and eventually Prime Video. However, for Project Hail Mary, the film arrived on digital platforms a bit later, on May 12, 2026, 53 days after its U.S. theatrical release on March 20, 2026.

When Will Project Hail Mary Be Available to Stream On Prime Video?
