What You Get With the Home Release

The digital and physical editions come loaded with bonus content. There’s a behind-the-scenes featurette — “The Making of Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” — in which Cronin walks through his vision for the film’s claustrophobic atmosphere. A separate featurette digs into the film’s wild practical effects work, including the intense prosthetics used to transform actress Natalie Grace into a demon-possessed vessel. A third piece explores the Egyptian mythology and demonic rituals at the story’s core. Rounding it out: deleted scenes and a full commentary track from Cronin himself.

For a film this tactile and visually driven — blood, bugs, and practical horror effects front and center — that behind-the-scenes access should be genuinely compelling viewing.

The Movie, the Money, and the Mixed Reviews

Cronin’s film tells the story of a journalist’s daughter who vanishes into the Egyptian desert and reappears eight years later — only the family quickly realizes the girl who came back is not the same child who disappeared. She’s been possessed by something ancient and malevolent, and what should be a joyful reunion becomes, as the synopsis puts it, “a living nightmare.”

The cast includes Jack Reynor (Midsommar), Laia Costa (Victoria), May Calamawy (Moon Knight), Veronica Falcón (Queen of the South), Hayat Kamille (Vikings: Valhalla), May Elghety (Clash), and Natalie Grace. James Wan and Jason Blum produced, with Cronin also serving as executive producer through his Doppelgängers banner.

Made on a $22 million budget, the film has pulled in over $86 million worldwide — a solid return by any measure. But critics weren’t as enthusiastic. It currently sits at 47% on Rotten Tomatoes, with reviewers pointing to an inconsistent story and a slightly bloated runtime (clocking in at over two hours, it’s one of the longest mummy movies ever made). Audiences, though, have been kinder — the Popcornmeter sits at 74% from over 1,000 user ratings, suggesting the film has found its crowd even if it didn’t fully win over the press.

It’s worth putting that in context: this is part of a broader wave of Blumhouse and Atomic Monster reimaginings of classic horror monsters. Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man in 2020 set the template and nailed it. His follow-up, Wolf Man in 2025, stumbled. Cronin’s Mummy sits somewhere in the middle — profitable, visually committed, but narratively uneven by most accounts.

No Connection to Universal’s Mummy Universe

One thing worth clarifying for fans: because this film is set up at New Line Cinema, it has absolutely nothing to do with Universal’s classic Mummy property. These are two entirely separate mummy worlds. Universal currently has three Mummy projects in various stages of development, including a prequel being written by Wes Tooke and — perhaps most excitingly for longtime fans — a fourth installment in the Brendan Fraser series, with Fraser and Rachel Weisz confirmed to return and Radio Silence (Scream) attached to direct from a script by David Coggeshall.

As for where Cronin’s film ends up on streaming, given that Warner Bros. distributed it, an HBO Max landing seems like the logical next step after the digital window closes — though no streaming date has been announced yet.

For now, May 19 is the date to mark. Deleted scenes, director’s commentary, and all the ancient demon horror you can handle — right from your living room.

• Project Hail Mary is now available to rent ($19.99) or buy ($24.99) on Prime Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home, and other digital platforms
• The Ryan Gosling sci-fi epic has grossed $656 million worldwide, making it the second-highest-grossing film of 2026
• Amazon MGM extended the theatrical window beyond its usual 45-day window, with the film hitting digital 53 days after its March 20 release
• A free streaming release on Prime Video or MGM+ has not yet been announced, but could arrive as early as mid-June
• Physical media — 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD — is set for August 11, 2026

After nearly two months of dominating the box office and sending audiences back to theaters for second, third, and — for some very dedicated fans — fifth viewings, Project Hail Mary is officially available to watch at home. Ryan Gosling’s sci-fi blockbuster landed on digital platforms on May 12, 2026, and you can rent or buy it on Prime Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home, YouTube Movies & TV, and Google Play right now.

The rental will run you $19.99 — giving you 30 days to start watching and 48 hours to finish once you press play — while a permanent digital purchase is $24.99. The film is also available in 4K UHD with Dolby Vision HDR and Atmos, so if you’ve got the setup for it, this is going to look and sound spectacular on your couch.

What Project Hail Mary Is Actually About

Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, with a screenplay by Drew Goddard, the film is based on the bestselling 2021 novel by Andy Weir — the same author behind The Martian. Gosling plays Ryland Grace, a middle school science teacher who wakes up aboard a spacecraft called the Hail Mary with no memory of who he is or how he got there. As his memories slowly return through flashbacks, he realizes he’s the sole survivor of a crew on a suicide mission: figure out why a mysterious microorganism called astrophage is eating the sun’s energy before it kills every living thing on Earth.

He doesn’t have to do it alone. Along the way, Grace encounters Rocky — a spider-shaped alien made of rocks, voiced by James Ortiz — whose own planet is facing the same extinction-level threat. What follows is, depending on who you ask, one of the most purely joyful sci-fi films in years.

Sandra Hüller, Milana Vayntrub, Ken Leung, and Liz Kingsman also star.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 94% critics score and a 95% audience score. The San Francisco Chronicle’s G. Allen Johnson called it “a masterpiece of a family popcorn movie, with eye-popping hand-crafted production design and outstanding creature design and puppetry work.” IGN’s Tom Jorgenson gave it 8/10, describing it as “a memorable celebration of how much we can accomplish when we work together.”

The Box Office Story Behind the Digital Release

This is Amazon MGM Studios’ biggest movie ever — full stop. Project Hail Mary has earned $656 million worldwide, split almost perfectly down the middle between domestic ($327.7 million) and international ($328 million) markets, per Box Office Mojo. It’s the second-highest-grossing film of 2026, sitting behind only The Super Mario Bros. Galaxy Movie. Against a net production budget of $200 million — before marketing — the film needed to clear $500 million to break even, according to Variety. It blew past that.

The film’s journey to your living room wasn’t entirely straightforward. In mid-April, Amazon MGM announced it was actually delaying the digital release to extend the theatrical run — an unusual move that included a one-week return to IMAX theaters. Co-director Christopher Miller was direct about the reasoning. “We announced yesterday that MGM is extending the exclusive theatrical window for Project Hail Mary, so it won’t be on streaming anytime soon,” he wrote on X. “This is a movie that needs to be seen on a big screen…make plans to see it in a theater now! Bring friends and loved ones. It’s an experience to share with others.”

That theatrical window ultimately stretched to 53 days — longer than Amazon MGM’s typical 45-day standard for bigger releases. The PVOD rollout itself is also a departure from the studio’s usual playbook, which tends to skip the rental/purchase window entirely and send films straight to Prime Video.

When Will It Hit Prime Video for Free?

No official streaming date has been announced yet. But based on how Amazon MGM has handled other titles, the expectation is that Project Hail Mary will land on Prime Video — or possibly MGM+ first — sometime in the weeks ahead. Previous Amazon MGM films like Challengers and Blink Twice debuted on MGM+ before expanding to Prime Video. Given the scale of this film’s success, though, it seems unlikely Amazon would bury its biggest movie ever on a niche subscription service. One informed prediction puts the Prime Video arrival around June 12, 2026 — though that’s speculative until the studio makes it official.

If you’re a new subscriber, both Prime Video and MGM+ currently offer free trials: 30 days for Amazon Prime, and seven days for MGM+ (which runs $7.99/month or $5.17/month annually after that).

What About Blu-ray and DVD?

Physical media fans, your date is August 11, 2026 — that’s when 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD copies are expected to arrive, per Blu-ray.com. A preorder isn’t live yet, but it’s worth keeping an eye on. For those who prefer to own their movies in a format that can’t be revoked, it’s worth the wait.

In the meantime, the Project Hail Mary universe keeps expanding beyond the screen — there’s already a LEGO set based on the Hail Mary ship, a Rocky plush, and a VR game on the way. There are even early whispers about franchise potential, though nothing is confirmed.

Rocky, meanwhile, is waiting for you on your couch. Jazz hands and all.
