Project Hail Mary, the Ryan Gosling sci-fi film based on Andy Weir's novel of the same name, is now available to watch at home on VOD platforms including Prime Video and Apple TV after a run of more than $655 million at the worldwide box office.
Amazon invested $200 million in the production, according to Collider. The film currently holds scores of 94% from critics and 95% from audiences on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, making it one of the highest-rated movies of the year.
Weir is the same author whose earlier novel inspired Ridley Scott's 2015 film The Martian. Project Hail Mary opened in theaters back in March and has been described as the first widely praised sci-fi release of 2026.
The year had a rough start for the genre. Greenland 2: Migration, starring Gerard Butler, grossed less than $45 million globally against a $90 million budget before moving to streaming. Mercy, with Rebecca Ferguson and Chris Pratt, brought in $54 million against a $60 million budget. Both films have since become available on streaming platforms.
Project Hail Mary's move to home viewing was expected to slow its theatrical momentum, but by any measure its run put it among the more commercially and critically successful films Amazon has backed in recent years.
