History

Historical Context

Netflix introduced streaming in 2007 with only 1,000 titles, then expanded globally and pressured studios to shorten theatrical windows. By 2010 it secured a $1 billion content deal, reshaping release strategies. Building on that precedent, MGM launched “Project Hail Mary” on Prime Video in 2026 with a 105-day window, signaling streaming’s dominance over traditional cinema and home-media sales.
