So far, 2026 has had it's fair share of major box office hits – from the unsurprising commercial success of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and Michael to the breakout horror smashes Obsession and Backrooms.

And one other film that has been a massive hit is Project Hail Mary, the Ryan Gosling-starring sci-fi spectacular from directing duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.

Spurred on by a raft of glowing reviews – and even very early talk of awards nominations – the film enjoyed a hugely fruitful theatrical run, with it's current global takings standing at $683 million, the fourth highest of the year so far.

While that impressive run in cinemas was great news for fans and filmmakers alike, the one downside for those who had already seen the movie and couldn't wait for repeat viewings was that its streaming debut was consequently pushed back.

Eventually, the film landed on MGM+ last month, and now it's been confirmed that it will imminently be landing on one of the more mainstream streamers: Prime Video.

The film will be available to watch on that platform from tomorrow (Friday 3 July 2026) – almost four months after it's theatrical debut on 9 March.

Meanwhile, the film is already available to rent and buy on a number of VOD platforms – including Prime Video and YouTube – with prices currently starting at £3.49 for rental and £9.99 for purchase.

Back in April, Miller had confirmed plans to extend the film's run in cinemas, writing on X: "MGM is extending the exclusive theatrical window for Project Hail Mary so it won’t be on streaming anytime soon."

The acclaimed film is adapted from Andy Weir's novel of the same name with Ryan Gosling starring as astronaut Ryland Grace, who awakens from a coma in space with no idea who he is, how he got there or what mission he's expected to accomplish.

Throughout the film – and with help from some extended flashbacks – we slowly learn the vital nature of his mission, while he also bonds with an adorable, rock-based alien named Rocky whose been sent to outer space by his own planet for a similar goal.

In our 4-star review of the film, we called it "science fiction with a reassuring soul, where the sombre comes bearing a smile, and the vastness of space is never quite so scary when you’re sharing it with a new pal."
