Amazon MGM Studio’s trailer Project Hail Mary posted some outer space-like numbers, pulling in 400 million global views in its first week.
According to WaveMetrix, that’s the most views in one week for a trailer of an original movie (non-sequel/remake). It’s also the biggest trailer launch ever in the history of Amazon MGM Studios (that is for MGM, Amazon, or even the combined banner).
Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller celebrated the milestone on Twitter, but they also spilled the beans that they’re going to be at San Diego Comic-Con with star Ryan Gosling, author Andy Weir and scribe Drew Goodard.
In the pic, Gosling plays science teacher Ryland Grace who 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.
The movie is produced by Amy Pascal, Gosling, Lord, Miller, Weir, Aditya Sood and Rachel O’Connor.
EPs are Patricia Whitcher, Drew Goddard, Lucy Kitada, Nikki Baida, Sarah Esberg, Ken Kao
The movie also stars Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, Milana Vayntrub
Earlier this morning, we reported that Amazon MGM Studios’ The Accountant 2 is the second most watched movie on Prime Video pulling in 80M global viewers since dropping on June 5.
