The upcoming 4K UHD Blu-ray release of "Project Hail Mary" has seen its price drop to a new low on Amazon, available for preorder ahead of an unannounced official release date. This discount coincides with Amazon's Prime Day event, though the retailer's preorder price guarantee ensures that anyone who previously placed an order will automatically receive the reduced price.
The film, based on Andy Weir's novel, follows a science teacher tasked with a critical space mission to save Earth. IGN's review lauded it as a "thrilling, heartfelt, and hilarious" sci-fi blockbuster. The film's current lack of a firm Blu-ray release date is likely connected to its box office success and its exclusive streaming availability on MGM+.
The 4K version of "Project Hail Mary" is slated to include several bonus features, such as commentary by directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, deleted scenes, and a featurette titled "Earth's Favorite Eridian."
While this specific preorder price drop is not officially designated as a Prime Day deal, it occurs amidst numerous other discounted 4K Blu-ray titles available on Amazon. Notable deals include price reductions on films by Christopher Nolan and a large box set featuring all the "Lord of the Rings" movies.
