Surprisingly, Interstellar is also gaining traction in the U.S., appearing at #6 on the iTunes rental charts, despite not being available on major U.S. streaming platforms. This sudden surge in popularity demonstrates that audiences are still very interested in the film, even years after its release.

Released in 2014, Interstellar was directed by Christopher Nolan, who also wrote the script with his brother, Jonathan. The movie stars Matthew McConaughey and features Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn, and Michael Caine. Set in a future where Earth is facing widespread famine, the film tells the story of a team of astronauts who travel through a wormhole near Saturn in search of a new planet for humans to live on.

When Interstellar came out in 2014, it was a big success with both moviegoers and critics. The film earned over $681 million globally at first, and that number has now grown to over $769 million with later releases. It was also recognized by the film industry, receiving five Academy Award nominations and winning the award for Best Visual Effects.

Ten years after its release, Interstellar continues to be well-received on Rotten Tomatoes. The film is still “Certified Fresh” with a 73% rating from critics based on 375 reviews. Audiences love it even more, giving it an 87% score based on over 100,000 ratings. Critics have consistently described the film as exciting and intellectually stimulating – qualities audiences have come to expect from director Christopher Nolan.

Even years after its release, Interstellar continues to attract viewers, and it’s yet to be determined if Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film will achieve similar popularity.
