Project Hail Mary – IMAX Out Of This World Premiere

To celebrate the launch of Project Hail Mary, Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Releasing UK announced that following its World Premiere in London, the highly anticipated film has achieved its “Out-Of-This-World Premiere”. Arriving in IMAX® and cinemas across the world on March 19, 2026, Project Hail Mary has been filmed specifically for IMAX®, delivering a cinematic experience unlike any other. Audiences will feel the vastness of space, the wonder of scientific discovery, and the intimacy of human connection - presented on the largest possible canvas. IMAX immerses viewers in both the isolation of deep space and the urgent race against time to save Earth. In Project Hail Mary, science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone. Sony Pictures Releasing UK partnered with IMAX and with stratospheric launch specialists Sent Into Space Ltd. to create a truly groundbreaking premiere moment. A bespoke IMAX display unit, engineered to showcase content in IMAX’s exclusive 1.43:1 Expanded Aspect Ratio (EAR), was launched into the stratosphere. After an hour-long ascent, the display reached an extraordinary peak altitude of approximately 110,000 feet above Earth, where it executed a full content play-through. The Space Ops team at Sent Into Space enabled extended time at peak altitude, ensuring the complete presentation could unfold against the incredible backdrop of Earth’s curvature and the blackness of space. This orbital premiere featured footage from the World Premiere in London; a special “Filmed For IMAX®” featurette; the Project Hail Mary trailer presented in IMAX’s 1.43:1 EAR and IMAX poster artwork from around the world. The initiative underscores the film’s incredible scale, and the out-of-this-world view you get with IMAX, proving there’s no bigger experience than IMAX.
