Amazon MGM Studios’ hit film Project Hail Mary is premiering on Prime Video on Friday, July 3, repping a 105-day theatrical window to streaming.
As we previously told you the Phil Lord and Chris Miller directed feature take of the Andy Weir novel hit MGM+ first in homes on June 18, a 90-day theatrical window. The reason for the Ryan Gosling pic’s arrival on MGM+ first versus Prime Video stemmed from the movie going through a traditional windows system at Amazon MGM Studios, from theaters to PVOD to MGM+, the latter being the pay-one window. A movie such as the Dwayne Johnson-Chris Evans feature, Red One, was greenlit via Prime Video, hence it went straight to the streaming service after its theatrical play.
Project Hail Mary stars Ryan Gosling and Sandra Hüller and follows a middle school science teacher who finds greatness thrust upon him when he is enlisted to go on an outer space mission for the U.S. government. The movie was an enormous bright spot at the spring box office racking up over $683M worldwide.
Project Hail Mary was adapted by Drew Goddard, and produced by Amy Pascal, Gosling, Lord, Miller, Weir, Rachel O’Connor, and Aditya Sood. Amazon MGM Studios will be pushing Project Hail Mary for awards this year.
