Connected TV (CTV) & OTT Market: Project Hail Mary Remains Top Performer on Prime Video
Project Hail Mary continues to show strong streaming performance on Amazon's Prime Video, remaining the fourth most-watched movie on the service about one month after its Prime debut. The film, produced by Amazon MGM Studios and based on Andy Weir’s 2021 novel, enjoyed a major theatrical run (U.S. release March 20, 2026), opening to more than $80 million domestically and ultimately grossing roughly $684 million worldwide. Following windows on premium VOD and MGM+, it arrived on Prime Video on July 3, 2026 and initially topped streaming charts before settling at fourth amid other new releases. The sustained interest highlights cross-platform audience retention for a large-budget studio title and reinforces Amazon’s content strategy across theatrical and streaming windows.
Shows continued audience engagement and cross-window success for a high-profile original studio title on a major streaming service—useful signal for streaming inventory, content strategy, and ad/monetization opportunities, but not industry-shifting.
