Looks Like Interstellar is Blasting Off Into Theaters Agaiiiiiiiin…!

Tenet ain’t the only Christopher Nolan movie getting another theatrical run. During its presentation at CinemaCon, Paramount revealed it was going to put Interstellar back in theaters as a celebration of its 10th birthday.

Come September 27, the sci-fi epic will play on digital screens and on 70mm IMAX. At time of writing, tickets aren’t available to buy, and it’s also not known how long it’ll run before leaving theaters again. Given how a lot of big movies from the last several decades are being re-released, and that Nolan’s still riding the high of Oppenheimer’s awards sweep, this is the smart move on WB and Paramount’s end.

Interstellar first released on November 5, 2014, and was Nolan’s first movie after wrapping up his Batman trilogy two years prior. Set in a dystopian future where humanity’s close to global extinction, Matthew McConaughey’s Joe Cooper is tasked by NASA to find a new home for the human race, which doen’t go entirely to plan. At the time of its release, it garnered mostly solid reviews, and was notably well-regarded by astronomers for how scientifically accurate it was and its use of theo retical astrophysics. With additional re-releases over the year, its box office has grown to $731 million worldwide, and it managed to win for Best VFX at the Oscars in 2015.

As well-regarded as it is, it odesn’t seem like it gets substantially talked about much compared to Inception or even Tenet post-reappraisal. Now that both that and Oppenheimer are behind us, it’ll be interesting to see how Interstellar shaped those two movies, and to find out how it stacks up as its own thing a decade later—assuming it’s playing in theaters and you feel safe going, that is. If not, there’s always streaming.
