Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar opens BIGGER than Tumbbad & YJHD in re-release —

Interstellar re-release box office:

Christopher Nolan proves his star power yet again. He demonstrates that he is undoubtedly one of the most popular Hollywood directors in India, following James Cameron. His sci-fi masterpiece, Interstellar, was re-released in India yesterday, January 7, 2025, and the rush it witnessed at the ticket windows after 11 years since its original release proves Nolan’s dedicated fan following in India. 

Interstellar was released in premium format and denied a wide release. This is truly justified because the cinematic experience this film provides is only enjoyable in IMAX format. The film sold approximately 300,000 tickets in advance sales without any outside help or scams, as it did not need any.

Looking at the advance sales, it seems that Interstellar will challenge the lifetime numbers of the Cameron’s Titanic re-release (Rs. 20.5 crore gross) to emerge as the most successful Hollywood re-release in India. 

Written by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan, Interstellar stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn, and Michael Caine. The film grossed ₹38 crore in its original release in India in 2014.
