If you already pay for Amazon Prime, there is no reason to rent: the film is included, and Prime Video lists it in 4K. Renting makes sense only if you don't have Prime and want to watch it once. Buying is worth it mainly for the disc, which adds five deleted scenes, a commentary by Lord and Miller and a featurette on Rocky.

How it did
Project Hail Mary opened to $80.5 million in the US and about $141 million worldwide, a record opening for Amazon MGM. It finished its run with $344.1 million in the US and $684.5 million worldwide, against a reported $200 million budget, according to The Numbers. That is more than The Martian, the earlier Weir adaptation, made worldwide.
Critics were on its side: as of Oct. 26, 2026, it has 95% on Rotten Tomatoes from 430 reviews. It is the rare blockbuster built on problem-solving rather than battles, and the friendship between Grace and Rocky is its emotional core.
Should you read the book first?
Not necessarily. The film is built around the same mystery as the novel, how Grace ended up on the ship, so reading first mostly means knowing the answers in advance. The book spends far more time on the science, which makes it a good next step after the film rather than homework before it. If you want to read it, Andy Weir's novel is on Amazon; the audiobook is narrated by Ray Porter.
Will there be a Project Hail Mary sequel?
As of Oct. 26, 2026, no sequel has been announced. Amazon MGM has said a follow-up depends on Andy Weir, and Weir has said he has ideas for one but none he likes enough yet. His next novel is a standalone story, not a sequel.
