Project Hail Mary to Stream Exclusively on MGM+ on June 18

Amazon MGM is using the film’s strong theatrical and PVOD run to drive paid subscriptions on its smaller MGM+ service before any wider Prime Video release.

Overview

  • Project Hail Mary will begin streaming on MGM+ on Thursday, June 18, following an official Amazon MGM announcement reported across multiple outlets.
  • The streaming debut follows a staged rollout that started with a theatrical release on March 20 and a premium VOD window in mid‑May, creating a roughly 90–91‑day theatrical‑to‑streaming sequence.
  • Amazon MGM confirmed the film will not arrive on Prime Video at the same time and coverage says a later migration to Prime is likely after MGM+’s exclusive window ends.
  • The studio is able to pursue this staggered plan because Project Hail Mary earned strong box office results (about $678–$681 million worldwide) and wide critical praise, giving the title extra commercial leverage.
  • For viewers this means access requires an MGM+ subscription or its Prime add‑on for now, and the move signals Amazon MGM’s strategy of using high‑profile theatrical hits to boost a niche pay channel before integrating them into Prime.
