‘Project Hail Mary’ Theatrical Run Extended as Streaming Debut Is Pushed Back

The studio is betting on premium formats plus word of mouth to maximize the big‑screen run.

Overview

  • Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller said the exclusive theatrical window was extended with a one‑week IMAX return starting the weekend of April 19.
  • The film earned about $20.5 million in North America in its fifth weekend with roughly a 15% drop, ranking among the biggest fifth weekends of the past five years.
  • Worldwide box office stands near $573.1 million, with about $285.1 million domestic and $288 million overseas, and trade tallies report it has edged past Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
  • In India, the movie grossed an estimated Rs 5.75 crore over its fourth weekend for a running total near Rs 77.75 crore, putting it on track to cross Rs 80 crore soon.
  • Prime Video has not set a new streaming date, and Amazon MGM used CinemaCon to emphasize a theaters‑first strategy that includes a larger annual slate and renewed exhibitor outreach.
