Project Hail Mary: film now available on digital platforms
After a successful theatrical run, Project Hail Mary has made its way to Video On Demand (VOD) platforms, including Prime Video. This move follows an extended theatrical release, which was prompted by the film’s overwhelmingly positive box office performance.
Extended theatrical release
Amazon had originally planned to bring the film to digital platforms nearly a month earlier. However, given its impressive results in theaters, it chose to delay the release. Even though screenings are still available at select locations, it is now also possible to watch Project Hail Mary at home.
Rental and purchase options
Project Hail Mary is available to rent for $19.99 or buy for $24.99 via Prime Video. When renting, viewers have 30 days to start the film and 48 hours to finish it after pressing play.
Commercial success and critical reception
The film follows Ryland Grace, a scientist who wakes up on a spaceship with no memory of who he is or how he got there. As his memories return, he begins to uncover his mission: solving the mysterious substance causing the sun to die.
Project Hail Mary is currently the second-highest-grossing film of 2026. Only the family hit The Super Mario Bros Galaxy Movie has earned more. The film has also received critical praise, including an 8/10 score from Tom Jorgenson, who called it a “memorable celebration of what we can achieve when we work together.”
