According to Variety, Interstellar tickets have been sold for as much as $215. The film sold out its initial screenings on 166 screens across the US, leading producers to put on more showings.

Interstellar re-release in India

Interstellar missed its IMAX re-release in India as Pushpa 2 grabbed all the IMAX screens in the country in December. Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna’s film, though, has brought audiences to theatres in large numbers and is dominating at the box office. However, some Nolan fans are angry about Interstellar not being re-released in India due to Pushpa 2 The Rule. New reports reveal that the acclaimed science fiction drama will now be re-released in India in early 2025.

Talking about the success of the re-release of Interstellar after 10 years, Christopher Nolan told the Associated Press, “I was just so gratified by the response. It’s really thrilling when people respond to your work at any point. But 10 years later, to have new audiences coming and experiencing it in the way that we’d originally intended it on the big IMAX screens and, in particular, on those IMAX film prints? It’s really rewarding to see that it continues to have a life.”
