The film will be screened on 70mm IMAX prints as well as virtual screens.
Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar will be re-released in theaters later this year in honor of the film’s anniversary.
The film, starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Matt Damon, is set in a dystopian future and sees an organization of astronauts travel through space to find a new planet to colonize with humans.
Paramount Pictures announced the relaunch of its presentation to theater owners and executives at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week.
Interstellar will hit theaters on September 27 and will be screened on 70mm IMAX prints as well as virtual screens.
Nolan shot Interstellar with a mix of 35mm anamorphic film and 65mm IMAX. At the time of release, moviegoers wanted to see the film in 70mm IMAX format, prompting weeks of sold-out screenings.
Warner Bros. , which co-produced the film, will work with Paramount on revival screenings (according to Variety).
Meanwhile, Nolan’s Oppenheimer continues to break records around the world and this week has become Nolan’s biggest hit overseas.
The biopic features Robert J. Oppenheimer (played by Cillian Murphy), the real-life American physicist who played a pivotal role in the creation of the atomic bomb in World War II. The film has grossed over $960 million (£757 million) at the global box office to date.
Last week, the film won its long-awaited release in Japan, where it garnered mixed reviews.
Often referred to as “the father of the atomic bomb,” Oppenheimer was instrumental in creating the nuclear weapons that were used in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, the only use of nuclear weapons in an armed confrontation in human history. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese citizens were killed.
The film’s release in the country proved critical, with the mayor of Hiroshima saying (via the Associated Press): “From Hiroshima’s perspective, the horror of nuclear weapons is underrepresented. The film was made in a way that validated the conclusion that the atomic bomb used to save American lives. “
Many have accused Nolan’s film of being insensitive to Japan and its painful past. Spike Lee had wondered in the past why the film didn’t show the effect of the atomic bombs on Japanese audiences, focusing solely on the American aspect of events.
Despite this, the Japanese release made the film Nolan’s biggest release, ahead of films like Inception and The Dark Knight.
Oppenheimer added $1. 6 million (£1. 26 million) in his second weekend in Japan, where he has so far amassed $5. 5 million (£4. 34 million). This brought the film’s total to $640 million (£504 million).
The film remains Nolan’s third most successful film in the world, both of which grossed more than $1 billion each.
Oppenheimer is the biggest winner at this year’s BAFTAs, taking home a total of seven awards, adding Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor for Murphy. The film was also a huge hit at this year’s Oscars, winning seven awards, adding Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor.
