Sci-Fi epic Interstellar, originally released in theatres on November 5, 2014, had received five Oscar nominations, and ended up winning for the best visual effects

Interstellar re-release: Renowned director Christopher Nolan's Interstellar will soon complete the 10th year of its release. On its 10th anniversary, the makers are planning to re-release the movie on the silver screen.

According to a Variety report, the movie was earlier scheduled to hit theatres on September 27, 2024, but now it has been delayed by over two months and will release on December 6, 2024. The re-release has been postponed to align with the home entertainment relaunch. 

The movie that will now be released on December 6 will be shown in 70 mm Imax print and Digital screen. This theatrical release date will align with the home entertainment relaunch. Warner Bros. Pictures co-produced the movie which is working with Paramount on the revival. 

Interstellar's 10th anniversary

A mix of standard digital prints and Nolan preferred IMAX 70mm format is going to be used and it is good for enthusiasts who don't want to miss out on the next Oppenheimer-style experience. 

Studio sources, quoted by Variety, debunked the rumour that 70mm prints of Interstellar were destroyed. Paramount claims that it archived more copies of the movie than most other pictures. The source said movie reels experience ‘wear and tear’ after being run in theatres which is not surprising.
