After a massive box office run, Project Hail Mary has landed on VOD platforms like Prime Video. If it feels like that took longer than usual, you’re not wrong. Amazon originally planned to release the film on digital almost a month ago, but instead decided to extend its theatrical window in response to its overwhelming box office success.
While there are still some showtimes available at select locations, the arrival on digital means you can officially watch Project Hail Mary at home. An easy win for movie night, if I do say so myself.
Project Hail Mary Lands on Digital
Project Hail Mary
2
Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out.
Project Hail Mary is available to rent for $19.99 or purchase for $24.99 through Prime Video. If you choose to rent the movie, you’ll have 30 days to start watching it and 48 hours to finish it from the time you hit play.
The sci-fi epic currently stands as the second highest-grossing movie of 2026, behind only the massive family hit The Super Mario Bros Galaxy Movie. It’s also received critical acclaim, with Tom Jorgenson’s 8/10 review for IGN describing it as “a memorable celebration of how much we can accomplish when we work together.” Very hopecore.
Streaming Release Date Still TBA
Amazon MGM owns the distribution rights for Project Hail Mary in North America. That means the movie could end up on MGM+ or Prime Video, maybe even both. Given how massive Project Hail Mary has been at the box office, it seems like an easy win for Amazon to eventually add it to Prime Video.
Perhaps even more suprisingly, we still haven’t heard any information about a DVD or Blu-ray release. It seems pretty much guaranteed that these will come down the pipeline at some point.
In the meantime, Project Hail Mary has been anything but shy about the merch. Some particularly popular announcements here at IGN include a new LEGO set based on the Hail Mary ship as well as a classic Rocky plush. We’re even getting a new VR game.
With how big of a success the movie and everything around it seems to be, it shouldn’t be a surprise that there’s already whispers about somehow turning it into a franchise.
