According to INOX Movies, the film, which is having a limited run of seven days in theatres, has set a new record for the biggest opening weekend for a Hollywood film re-release in India.
Warner Bros. India’s X page also announced that Interstellar has managed to get the highest opening for an IMAX film re-released in India.
While the distributors are yet to release official numbers, it’s reported that Interstellar has easily surpassed the collections of Titanic’s 2023 re-release numbers which is said to have held the record.
Interstellar stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn, and Michael Caine. The film follows a group of astronauts who travel through a wormhole in search of a new home for mankind after Earth suffers a major famine. Interstellar was nominated for five awards at the 87th Academy Awards, winning Best Visual Effects.

In a surprising turn of events, Urvashi theatre, one of Bengaluru’s iconic single screens, has re-opened, with the much-talked-about Dhurandhar: The Revenge running to a full house in the theatre. After the expiry of the 45-year lease, it seemed like curtains would come down on the king-size theatre but for now, it’s good news for fans.
