Hollywood Film Makes History in India with Historic Re-Release

Published by Shivani Bhore on

Interstellar is regarded as one of the best films ever made and as one of the best productions by renowned director Christopher Nolan. The spectacular re-release of this sci-fi epic is scheduled on February 7. This time, India is seeing an unparalleled passion for Interstellar.

According to the most recent reports, Interstellar has already sold over one lakh tickets nationwide and made advance reservations totalling Rs. 5 crore. Tummbad, the highest-grossing re-released movie, was surpassed in advance purchases by Interstellar. After surpassing Tumbbad’s advance sales, it remains to be seen if Interstellar will surpass Tumbbad (Rs. 30-40 crore), Ghilli (Rs. 30-32 crore), and Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani (Rs. 26 crore) as the highest grossing re-released picture over its whole run.

It appears improbable, though, given official reports state that Interstellar will only be shown in theatres for a week (February 7–13). After seeing these incredible sales, it remains to be seen if the producers decide to change their minds and prolong the film’s theatrical run.

The core cast of Interstellar includes Michael Caine, Ellen Burstyn, Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, Bill Irwin, and Matthew McConaughey. The soundtrack was composed by Han Zimmer.
