Project Hail Mary Streaming Release Date Confirmed but There’s a Catch

Ryan Gosling’s Project Hail Mary just locked in its streaming release date, but fans might not love where it’s landing. The sci-fi blockbuster’s streaming debut comes with a catch for subscribers expecting it on a certain platform.

Ryan Gosling’s Project Hail Mary is headed to MGM+ before Prime Video

Ryan Gosling’s Project Hail Mary will officially land on MGM+ on June 18 after a three-month theatrical run.

The sci-fi blockbuster based on Andy Weir’s bestselling novel scored an impressive $80 million opening weekend. Amazon owns MGM+, and subscribers can access the platform independently or through Prime Video for $7.99 monthly.

That said, plans to bring the film directly to Prime Video have not been confirmed yet. The movie has already been available on video-on-demand services like Vudu since mid-May. MGM+ currently features the title under its Science Fiction and Fantasy lineup alongside The Martian.

During its opening weekend, Project Hail Mary shattered records as Amazon’s biggest debut ever. Within weeks, the film climbed further to become the studio’s highest-grossing release of all time. It also overtook Ridley Scott’s The Martian as the top-earning adaptation of a Weir novel.

The movie has since surpassed the $680 million mark worldwide against a $200 million production budget. Critics and audiences have responded enthusiastically, awarding it 94% and 95% scores on Rotten Tomatoes, respectively. Strong word-of-mouth and repeat viewings fueled its sustained box office dominance as an original, non-franchise release.

Looking ahead, filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller have confirmed active progress on another Weir adaptation. Their next project, Artemis, has spent nine years in development but remains a top priority for the duo. Weir himself has hinted at a possible sequel novel, stating, “I’ve got bits and pieces of good ideas for sequels, but not enough to run with. If I’m going to sequel it, I want it to be good” (via Screen Rant).

Amazon has yet to announce franchise expansion plans. The cast also includes Sandra Hüller, James Ortiz, and Lionel Boyce, with Drew Goddard penning the screenplay.
