Project Hail Mary delays streaming release following record-breaking success

by

If you’re hoping to watch Project Hail Mary on a streaming service soon, we have some unfortunate news. Because the sci-fi movie has been so successful in theaters, it will continue to be shown in cinemas for a bit longer.

Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the movie is based on Andy Weir’s 2021 novel and stars Ryan Gosling as a science teacher who travels to space. There, he makes an alien friend while trying to save the world.

The sci-fi movie has earned over $538 million in ticket sales since it came out last month, becoming the most successful film ever released by Amazon MGM Studios (according to Box Office Mojo).

Because of the film’s continued success, Miller announced on X (formerly Twitter) that Project Hail Mary will stay in theaters longer and won’t be available for streaming yet.

This film is best enjoyed on the big screen! It’s returning to IMAX for one week starting this weekend, so don’t miss the chance to see it in a theater. Gather your friends and family – it’s a perfect shared experience.

What to Read Next

We’ll have to wait and see how long the movie stays in theaters and when it becomes available on Prime Video. It will face competition from other new releases, including Michael and The Devil Wears Prada 2, in the coming weeks.

Although some fans might be frustrated by the delay, early reviews suggest the film will be worth waiting for. Currently, 94% of critics on Rotten Tomatoes have given Project Hail Mary a positive review, based on 390 reviews.

We gave the film a five-star rating, praising it as a perfect adaptation. We noted that it simplifies some of the more complex scientific details to focus on the characters and their emotional journeys.

We noted that Project Hail Mary successfully appeals to existing fans of the book, created by people who are clearly passionate about the story, and also has the potential to attract new readers with its hopeful and moving narrative.

Project Hail Mary is in cinemas now.
