Greenland is a 2020 American apocalyptic survival disaster thriller film directed by Ric Roman Waugh and written by Chris Sparling. The film stars Gerard Butler (who also produced), Morena Baccarin, Roger Dale Floyd, Scott Glenn, David Denman, and Hope Davis, and follows a family who must fight for survival as a planet-destroying comet races to Earth.
Originally scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States, Greenland was delayed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film was released domestically by STXfilms, through video on demand on December 18, 2020, and then to streaming on HBO Max and Amazon Prime Video. It was also released theatrically in other territories, beginning with Belgium on July 29, 2020. The film received generally positive reviews from critics who praised the performances, emotional depth and visual effects, but criticized its clichéd storyline. The film grossed $52.3 million worldwide with a production budget of $35 million. A sequel, Greenland: Migration, wrapped filming in August 2024, with Waugh, Butler, Baccarin, and Floyd all returning.
