Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar Re-release Pushed From September To December

Christopher Nolan directorial “Interstellar” is set to be re-released as a celebration of its tenth anniversary. But the enormous science fiction film is returning to theaters a little bit later than expected.

Instead of opening on September 27, as planned, the Paramount Pictures movie will debut on December 6, or about two months later. It will be exhibited on digital screens in addition to 70mm Imax prints. Well-informed sources claim that the theatrical release date was moved to coincide with the home entertainment relaunch. The film’s co-producer, Warner Bros. Pictures, is collaborating with Paramount on the revival.

The studio refutes a report that “Interstellar” 70mm prints were destroyed; Paramount asserts that it has more copies of the film archived than most other motion pictures.

However, it is not unusual for film reels to become worthless after their theatrical runs due to the wear and tear they receive while being shown on enormous screens.

When “Interstellar” debuted on November 5, 2014, it brought in an astounding $731 million at the box office worldwide. The film, which stars Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, and Matthew McConaughey, is set in a dismal future where a team of astronauts must venture to the extreme reaches of space in order to locate a new planet that humanity can populate. It received five Oscar nominations and took home the best visual effects award.

For a long time, Nolan has been a strong supporter of both Imax and movies. He encouraged people to see “Oppenheimer,” his best picture-winning blockbuster about the creation of the atomic bomb, in 70mm Imax, which resulted in weeks of sold-out showings. As the director of “The Dark Knight” trilogy, “Inception,” and “Tenet,” Christopher Nolan stands as one of Hollywood’s most prosperous filmmakers.
