Not every space movie needs a franchise name attached to become a phenomenon. “Project Hail Mary” proved that this year, turning a mid-budget sci-fi adaptation into one of the biggest theatrical success stories of 2026 — and now, it’s finally landing on Prime Video.

## Project Hail Mary’s Box Office Journey

Opening in March 2026, the film launched to a massive **$140.9 million globally** in its debut weekend — the largest opening of the year at the time and the biggest start ever for [Amazon MGM Studios](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_MGM_Studios). From there, strong word-of-mouth kept the momentum going for months rather than weeks, an increasingly rare feat in modern theatrical runs.

By its seventh weekend, the film had crossed **$638 million worldwide**, officially surpassing Ridley Scott’s *The Martian* — also based on an Andy Weir novel — to become the highest-grossing Andy Weir adaptation ever. The film kept climbing, eventually settling at roughly **$680 million worldwide**, including over $340 million domestically, by the end of its three-month theatrical run.
