‘Interstellar’ grosses $621 million plus at the worldwide box office

BENGALURU:  Paramount Pictures (Paramount) and Warner Bros Pictures’ (WB) critically acclaimed film Interstellar has surpassed $ 621 million (about Rs 3900 crore) at the worldwide box office to date says Viacom. Further, the movie has surpassed $100 million (about Rs 620 crore) in Imax Theatres worldwide since its release on 5 November, marking the fourth time an Imax film has crossed the $100 million threshold.

The VFX work for the movie was delivered by Double Negative.

Continuing the legacy begun by Nolan and his use of the 15 perf 65mm Imax cameras in The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, more than an hour of Interstellar was shot using Imax cameras. Exclusively in Imax theatres, these sequences expand to fill the entire screen and deliver unprecedented crispness and clarity and provide audiences with a truly cinematic and immersive experience. Sequences of Interstellar shot in 35mm film have been digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The Imax Experience with proprietary Imax DMR (Digital Re-mastering) technology.

Directed by Christopher Nolan, Interstellar tells the story of a team of explorers that travel through a wormhole in an attempt to ensure humanity’s survival. The story is written by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan, and produced by Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Lynda Obst and stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn, John Lithgow and Michael Caine.
