Christopher Nolan has begun shooting his next film, “The Odyssey.”

Produced by Universal Pictures, the star-studded blockbuster will be Nolan’s follow-up to his Best Picture-winning 2023 hit “Oppenheimer” and will reunite him with a number of his past collaborators both in front of and behind the camera.

An adaptation of Homer’s Ancient Greek poem, Nolan intends to shoot the period epic with “brand new Imax film technology,” making it a big-screen adaptation of “The Odyssey” the likes of which audiences have never seen before.

The film is still over a year away, but here’s everything we know right now about “The Odyssey.”

When does “The Odyssey” come out?

Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” is set to hit theaters on July 17, 2026.

Is “The Odyssey” in theaters or streaming?

“The Odyssey” isn’t in theaters or streaming yet. When it is eventually released in July 2026, though, it will be a theatrical exclusive,...

The announcements for Christopher Nolan’s latest, The Odyssey, don’t seem like they are coming to an end soon. Every week, a new tidbit is brought to light. Every week, a new star’s inclusion in the epic saga is made official. But this week is a little different.

While Mia Goth’s inclusion in the cast was made official not long ago, it seems like fans have something more to cheer about today. The reason? Matt Damon’s first look in the project has been revealed.

The Odyssey is one of Christopher Nolan‘s highly anticipated works. The anticipation can be partly attributed to the fact that it is based on the ancient Greek epic poem, attributed to the legendary Homer.

As streaming platforms continue to expand their libraries, Paramount+ has emerged as a powerhouse of entertainment, offering an impressive collection of both classics and contemporary hits. Whether you’re a film buff seeking Oscar-winning masterpieces or someone looking for an enjoyable weekend watch, the platform’s diverse catalog has something for everyone.

We’ve combed through their extensive library to bring you 20 standout films that deserve a spot on your watchlist. From groundbreaking sci-fi adventures to timeless dramas, pulse-pounding thrillers to beloved comedies, these selections showcase the best of what Paramount+ has to offer right now.

1. The Godfather (1972)

Francis Ford Coppola‘s monumental crime drama isn’t just a movie; it’s a masterclass in filmmaking that has influenced generations of directors and storytellers. The film meticulously chronicles the Corleone family’s saga, with Al Pacino delivering a career-defining performance as Michael Corleone,...

There's a huge amount of excitement surrounding Christopher Nolan's next movie, The Odyssey, and as the filmmaker gears up to begin shooting his first fantasy feature, we have an official first look at Matt Damon as Odysseus (via SFFGazette.com).

This may be an indication that, due to Nolan's penchant for shooting in real-world locations, Universal Pictures is wary that the paparazzi will be snapping shots of the cast. Either way the Interstellar and Thor: Ragnarok star looks mighty impressive here.

Despite claims that Tom Holland will be The Odyssey's lead, the fact Damon is taking centre stage in this first look suggests the focus will very much be on Odysseus. Will more photos of the cast follow? We hope so, though this is an exciting glimpse at what's to come in the movie.

"Christopher Nolan’s next film The Odyssey is a mythic action epic shot across...

The greatest mystery of our time -- and perhaps cinematic history itself -- has finally been answered. After months of speculation over what, exactly, Christopher Nolan's next movie would even be, with rumors ranging from a vampire film to a blockbuster somehow involving "aerial helicopter pilots", the answer arrived in the form of a new retelling of Homer's epic Greek poem "The Odyssey." With one mystery solved, the buzz instantly moved on to which stars in the A-list ensemble will portray each famous figure. Zendaya as Athena? Our favorite weirdo Robert Pattinson as the Cyclops? Tom Holland as Odysseus himself? Well, we now know the leading man who'll be tasked with portraying the most homesick man ever depicted in literature.

In a surprise social media post on X (formerly and forever known as Twitter), the official Universal Pictures account just ... tweeted it out. Matt Damon, who last collaborated...

“The Odyssey” has got its hero.

Matt Damon will play Odysseus in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming epic “The Odyssey.” He will appear alongside an expansive cast including Tom Holland, Mia Goth, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Benny Safdie, Jon Bernthal and John Leguizamo.

Damon’s role was revealed Monday morning through the film’s official X account. The post included a photo of him in character and read, “Matt Damon is Odysseus. A film by Christopher Nolan, #TheOdysseyMovie is in theaters July 17, 2026.”

“The Odyssey” follows the Greek champion Odysseus on his tumultuous journey home after the Trojan War. The story was first scribed by the ancient Greek poet Homer over 2,000 years ago and is one of the oldest stories still enjoyed by modern readers.

Universal, a long-time Nolan collaborator and the film’s distributor, said in December that “The Odyssey” is a “mythic action epic shot...

Universal Pictures offered a surprise first-look at Christopher Nolan’s next movie on Monday that doubled as confirmation that Matt Damon is indeed the lead in “The Odyssey.” Despite rumors that Tom Holland might be playing the mythic hero, Damon is playing Odysseus in Nolan’s adaptation, which is gearing up to roll cameras ahead of a July 2026 release.

The action epic, based on Homer’s epic poem, starts production this month and will be shot across the world using new IMAX technology.

Written in 8th century B.C., “The Odyssey” follows the 10-year journey of Odysseus as he tries to make his way home after the Trojan War, encountering trials, tribulations and literal monsters on his journey.

The stacked ensemble cast for Nolan’s adaptation also includes Holland, Robert Pattinson, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, John Leguizamo, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, Mia Goth, Himesh Patel (“Station Eleven...

Christopher Nolan is one of the most important directors of his time, and may even be the preeminent filmmaker of his generation. But there's an element to the British director's style that, at times, can make his films seem a little too functional and cold. As Richard Brody wrote in his New Yorker review of "Oppenheimer," "Nolan cuts his scenes to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, and details that don't fit — contradictions, subtleties, even little random peculiarities — get left out [...] What remains is a movie to be solved rather than lived."

With 2014's "Interstellar," however, the director proved he could balance his functional "jigsaw puzzle" style with real emotional heft. As such, "Interstellar" remains Nolan's emotional masterpiece, and is for many his best film. What makes it a true marvel is that Nolan managed to create a truly moving emotional drama that also happens to be a spectacular sci-fi...

“Nosferatu” (Craig Lathrop), “Wicked” (Nathan Crowley), and “Conclave” (Suzie Davies) were the period, fantasy, and contemporary production design winners at the 29th annual Art Directors Guild Awards, held February 15 at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown.

Also winning for animation was “The Wild Robot”, following its Annies sweep and Ves prizes. On the TV side, “Shōgun,” “Squid Game,” “Fallout,” and “The Penguin” were the winners for their production designers in their respective categories.

The Lathrop win for “Nosferatu” was not surprising when you consider that “The Brutalist” production designer Judy Becker is not an Adg member. She has been the presumptive Oscar favorite for channeling Oscar-nominated Adrien Brody’s visionary architect, László Tóth, in applying a Brutalist style to the architectural designs of mid-century Pennsylvania with its bold shapes and function over form aesthetic.

Lathrop, who has worked on all of director Robert Eggers’ other films, received his first Oscar nomination for “Nosferatu.

Image Source: Warner Bros Christopher Nolan is no stranger to pushing the boundaries of cinematic storytelling. Over the years, he has redefined what movies can achieve with groundbreaking works like Memento, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Interstellar, Tenet, and his latest historical opus, Oppenheimer. Known for his intricate plots, philosophical depth, and eye-popping visuals, Nolan’s films challenge audiences to rethink time, reality, and human connection. Yet, even among this stellar filmography, one title stands out as the purest example of his genius—Inception. Released in 2010, this masterpiece takes viewers on a mind-bending trip through layered dreamscapes. Its daring concept of “dreams within dreams,” coupled with stunning effects, Hans Zimmer’s iconic score, and an ambiguous ending that sparked endless debate, all cemented Inception as a modern classic. But what did Nolan himself think about creating this cinematic puzzle box? He once shared that Inception was one of his boldest risks as a filmmaker.

Captain America: Brave New World has finally arrived at the theatres, the first MCU movie of the year. Although Anthony Mackie is being highly praised for his portrayal as the new Captain America, the CinemaScore rating is even below Eternals and The Marvels. However, the Thursday preview collection is strong and hopeful. Keep scrolling for the deets.

The film’s Rotten Tomatoes ratings are also not overwhelming, as the critics gave it 50%, while the audience gave it 79%. The collective consensus of the critics states, “Anthony Mackie capably takes up Cap’s mantle and shield, but Brave New World is too routine and overstuffed with uninteresting Easter eggs to feel like a worthy standalone adventure for this new Avengers leader.”

Based on trade analyst Luiz Fernando’s report, Captain America: Brave New World collected a strong $12 million on Thursday previews,...

Chhaava Box Office Day 2 Advance Booking ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, has opened to a blinder at the Indian box office. Released amid a good buzz on the ground level, the magnum opus has surpassed everyone’s expectations and locked a 30 crore+ opening. Today, on day 2, the collection will be much higher; especially in Maharashtra, it will be an earth-shattering response. The reason behind this is an excellent advance booking at the Indian box office. Keep reading for a detailed report!

As we said in the prediction story, the Bollywood magnum opus opened to a terrific response in Maharashtra. The occupancy was impressive not just in big cities but even in other centers. At some locations, there were capacity issues. Considering it’s Saturday and the crowd will erupt in theatres, extra shows have been added. Late-night and early-morning shows are...

What a difference a decade makes. When Timothée Chalamet arrives at this year’s Berlinale for a special gala screening of James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown, in which he plays an inscrutable Bob Dylan, he’ll be hailed as a star: He’s headlined such blockbusters as Wonka and the Dune movies and also just earned his second best actor Oscar nomination.

When Chalamet first walked Berlin’s red carpet in 2015, it was a different story. Then just 19, he was starring opposite Kiernan Shipka in Andrew Droz Palermo’s indie feature One & Two.

Following supporting parts in Showtime’s Homeland and Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, it was Chalamet’s first lead role; he and Shipka portrayed siblings with the ability to teleport.

During a visit to THR’s lounge, Chalamet explained, “The movie’s about their separation journey — getting back together in the end or maybe not.” But the...

Interstellar Re-Release Box Office Collection (India) (Photo Credit – Instagram)

After bringing in impressive numbers amid several Indian releases running in theatres, the re-release edition of Interstellar has taken an exit. As we all know, the film was relaunched in Indian theatres for a limited period, and as expected, it has done well at the Indian box office. It concluded its run on a rocking note, surpassing Titanic to emerge as the highest-grosser among Hollywood re-releases. Keep reading for a detailed collection report of 7 days!

Reception among the audience

Ever since the announcement about the film’s re-release, fans of Christopher Nolan have been excited. The film was originally released in 2014 and is described as one of the best films from Hollywood. Over the years, it has built a loyal fan base, and since the film is known for its visuals and theatrical experience, fans have been enthusiastic about watching it on the big screen.

The Fast and Furious franchise has seen the most bizarre inclusions in its ensemble cast. What began as an illegal street racing-based action flick has blown up into an international spy adventure that has even gone to space, and those are still not its most bizarre parts. Stars like Helen Mirren, Charlize Theron, and Kurt Russell have regular roles in the films.

However, with the final installment in the works, the franchise is due for a new villain and the stars of the films already seem to have a pick. Michelle Rodriguez, who played Letty in the franchise, picked Matt Damon to play the big bad in the finale. When asked about the reason, she referred to his role in The Talented Mr. Ripley.

There was a time when Leonardo DiCaprio asked Timothee Chalamet to avoid any comic book movies. But do you know why? Read ahead to learn more.

Timothee Chalamet is one of the latest rising and talented actors in Hollywood. He has made his name in the industry with hard work, passion, and dedication. Tim has already worked on various prestigious projects, including Interstellar, Call Me By Your Name, Dune, and more. However, back in the day, Chalamet once got advice from Leonardo DiCaprio, which he took very seriously. Do you know what was that? Scroll ahead to find out.

The Harry Potter universe is set to return to the screen with a highly anticipated Max original series, and one of the biggest casting questions is who will step into the role of Albus Dumbledore. While several actors could take up the mantle of Hogwarts’ wise and enigmatic headmaster, a new report suggests it will go to John Lithgow.

It may seem like a surprise choice, but a case can be made for Lithgow as the ideal Dumbledore. The Emmy- and Tony-winning actor has the gravitas, warmth, and theatrical presence needed to bring Dumbledore to life in a fresh yet faithful way. However, that doesn’t mean the selection isn’t without its flaws.

Following recent reports claiming that both Mark Strong and Mark Rylance could be in contention to play Albus Dumbledore in HBO's Harry Potter series, we're now hearing that John Lithgow is officially in talks for the role.

Lithgow has appeared in a multitude of film and TV projects over the years, including Dexter, Footloose, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and Interstellar. More recently, he played key roles in Conclave and FX's prematurely cancelled The Old Man.

Jeff Sneider believes Rylance was offered the part, but declined after his wife passed away.

Dumbledore was previously played by late Irish acting legends Richard Harris and Michael Gambon, with Jude Law portraying a younger take on the character in the Fantastic Beasts movies.

Few actors have had an influence as great as Matt Damon. With his ability to carefully pick the projects he stars in, he has curated one of the most vast and impressive filmographies of all time. From starting his career in Good Will Hunting to heading the Jason Bourne series and even being a part of films like Saving Private Ryan and Interstellar, he has been in a surprising number of Oscar-nominated projects.

While these achievements have made him one of the most beloved and respected figures in the film industry, it is important to remember that he is not above making bad decisions. Unfortunately for Damon, one of the most disappointing moments in his professional life came because he listened to the advice of another Oscar winner.

What Inspired Christopher Nolan To Make Interstellar? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Christopher Nolan is the director and co-writer of the movie Interstellar, which was released in 2014. Ten years later, in 2025, the film once again found a spot in the theatres and has been re-released across India and several other countries in the world. People are still going to the theatres and watching it like they are devouring for the first time. That’s the power Nolan’s creations hold. Featuring a stellar star cast, including Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Timothee Chalamet, Matt Damon, Michael Caine, and others – it’s a story about space and a beautiful tale involving a father and a daughter, a story

“Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” won Outstanding Visual Effects in a Photoreal Feature, the top feature prize at the 23rd Annual Visual Effects Society Awards and the one that most closely corresponds to the Oscar for Best Visual Effects. The celebration of achievement in visual effects took place on Tuesday in Los Angeles.

The sci-fi primate sequel beat “Dune: Part Two,” which went into the evening with the most nominations (seven) and emerged with the most wins (four): Outstanding Achievement in a Photoreal Feature, Outstanding CG Cinematography, Outstanding Effects Simulations in a Photoreal Feature and Outstanding Compositing & Lighting in a Feature.

The victory for “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” does not necessarily make the film a frontrunner in the Oscars’ visual-effects race. Over the 22 years of Ves Awards, the winner went on to receive the Oscar 12 times, but the two groups have only matched three times in the last 10 years.

Christopher Nolan has a knack for creating visually stunning films that are best enjoyed on the big screen. His love for IMAX cameras and breathtaking cinematography has always ensured that every shot in his movies feels larger than life. With complex storytelling and mind-bending narratives, Nolan’s films leave an impression on everyone, making audiences think long, even after the credits roll.

Among his many masterpieces, Interstellar stands out as a film that continues to capture hearts and minds, even after a decade. It’s not just another sci-fi movie—it’s an emotional and intellectual experience that offers something new every time you watch it.

From a gripping storyline to mind-blowing scientific accuracy, Interstellar is a true cinematic marvel. Here are five reasons why it still holds up as one of the best films of all time.

5. Interstellar is rooted in real science

A lot needed to happen during “Wicked’s” “The Wizard and I.”

As Elphaba’s (Cynthia Erivo) “I want” song, it expresses the character’s innermost desires: to meet the wizard who she believes will help her, and to feel accepted by everyone, including the audience.

Director Jon M. Chu needed audiences to fall in love with her. “We needed anything we could to get us to root for her and to be more of an underdog,” he explains.

Visually, Chu had an idea of ascension. The “Wizard and I” number begins with Elphaba and Madame Morrible walking down the stairs in the classroom. By the end, as Elphaba stands alone on the edge of a cliff, she expresses her deepest desire — to be part of a powerful team, alongside the Wizard.

Chu and his artisans worked closely to hit the storytelling points to ensure Elphaba’s big moment worked.

Mufasa: The Lion King Box Office: Surpasses Dune 2(Photo Credit – Instagram)

The Disney animated feature Mufasa: The Lion King is proving its worth at the box office despite starting slow. It has finally surpassed its rival Sonic the Hedgehog 3 at the box office in the United States. The Disney flick has recently surpassed the overseas haul of Dune 2 to become one of the top ten biggest movies of 2024 internationally. Read on for more.

Mufasa will debut on digital platforms in a few days. It was the seventh highest-grossing film of last year and was made on a budget of $200 million. Other movies released at the same time are suffering from the arrival of new releases, but the Disney movie is still hanging in there and performing well in the international market as well.

Now, as per Box Office Mojo, Dune 2 was released in March last year and...

Over the years, Hollywood has churned out several sci-fi movies boasting A-list stars, spaceships, fictional planets, and spectacular cosmic vistas. And most of those movies have seemingly bent the laws of physics for commercial and artistic purposes. But when it came to the perfectionist Christopher Nolan, the director hired a theoretical physicist, Kip Thorne, to keep him grounded for Interstellar.

You won’t believe how well that served Christopher Nolan, especially since the filmmaker was almost set to deviate too far from the realms of what’s actually possible in physics. According to Kip Thorne, Nolan apparently wanted to add the “non-negotiable” concept of traveling faster than the speed of light. Thankfully, Thorne refused to give in.

Captain America: Brave New World China Box Office: 2nd Day Of Pre-Sales Update(Photo Credit – Instagram)

As we reported earlier, Captain America: Brave New World’s pre-sales kicked off on Sunday in China. It has been performing well and has collected over $500K from the pre-sales, higher than Deadpool & Wolverine and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Keep scrolling for more.

Julius Onah directed the fourth installment, which is the continuation of the 2021 series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It underwent several changes, including its title. There were several reshoots, and Marvel has been going through a rough patch for the past few years. However, it regained its glory last year with Deadpool & Wolverine after earning over $1 billion at the box office, becoming 2024’s second highest-grossing film worldwide. However, there is still uncertainty around this film as Anthony Mackie will be appearing as Captain America, which has been popularized by Chris Evans.

Ne Zha 2 Box Office: Beats Minions (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Ne Zha 2 maintains its momentum at the Chinese box office and has collected more than $50 million on its second Monday. It is something movies earn on their debut weekend but not the Ne Zha sequel; it is creating cinematic history every moment. It has now beaten Minions’ lifetime haul at the worldwide box office. Scroll below for the deets.

The animated feature, Minions, was released in 2015 and is a prequel to 2010’s Despicable Me. The film was followed by a sequel, Minions: The Rise of Gru, and another sequel is reportedly being developed. The animated feature was a massive box office, collecting $336.04 million in the US and $1.16 billion worldwide. It is reportedly one of the top ten highest-grossing animated movies of all time globally.

According to Luiz Fernando’s report, Ne Zha 2 continues to be the box office juggernaut in China.

The Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster is a favorite among Indian fans, and that has been established. Interstellar not only scores winning numbers in its re-release opening weekend but has also achieved a new feat. The movie has collected decent numbers on its Day 4 as well. Keep scrolling for the deets.

The movie has been released in IMAX and 2D format to celebrate its tenth anniversary. It was one of the most anticipated Hollywood re-releases. The filmmaker shot two films in India, and he once said that India has one of the most remarkable film cultures in the world. He shot parts of Tenet and The Dark Knight Rises in the country. He also met with several eminent actors, including Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Kamal Haasan.

On Tuesday, Warner Bros India took to their social media handle on X to reveal that...

Spectacle has been essential to keeping moviegoing alive and pushing filmmaking forward, and the impact of VFX on the industry cannot be overstated. As major studios look for more avenues to entice audiences into theaters in this rapidly shifting world of technology, in which almost every form of entertainment is at our fingertips, the promise of breathtaking set pieces on the big screen remains one of the biggest selling points for audiences. Ideally, the best achievement in visual effects Oscar sets a bar in terms of what can be attained through technology, creativity, budget and audience investment.

As a result, the category differs from the others in that it suggests a measurable goal for productions to reach. If a blockbuster with dinosaurs can’t look at least as good as the industry-shifting visual effects on display in Jurassic Park (1993), then there’s still work to be done. Those same industry-shifting...

Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar is one of the greatest films in the history of cinema. It turned ten last year, and on that occasion, the film was re-released in the US and several parts of the world. It is now running in theatres in India. The film has many stories, and one of them is shared by Anne Hathaway, who plays one of the scientists in the movie.

Captain America 4, aka Captain America: Brave New World, is counting the days until its theatrical release. The MCU flick’s advance booking has begun in China, and it is pretty impressive. The film starring Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford has beaten Deadpool & Wolverine, Aquaman 2, and The Flash’s collections from the first pre-sales in the region. Scroll below for the deets.

The Chinese box office is currently the highlight of the news because of the animated feature Ne Zha 2. The movie crossed the $1 billion mark in twelve days and has become the single-market highest-grossing film ever. It is also the seventh highest-grossing animation of all time, and it has achieved that feat by surpassing Moana 2 this weekend, its second weekend.

According to trade analyst Luiz Fernando’s report, only 23k screenings have been made available for the pre-sales.

Interstellar box office day 3 collection has rolled in, and as expected, it is not disappointing. The film has recreated the same magic at the Indian box office by collecting similar collections after three days. Indian fans of Christopher Nolan are thoroughly enjoying the re-release as the film continued the same momentum on Day 3. Scroll below for the deets.

It is Valentine’s Week, and the Indian theatres are also filled with multiple movies, including Sanam Teri Kasam, which is also a re-release. Himesh Reshammiya’s Badass Ravi Kumar is also running in the theatres alongside Loveyapa, featuring Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor. In addition, Nolan’s film has been released in IMAX and 2D formats. The film has not arrived in all the theatres in the country, therefore limiting the film’s box office collection at the Indian box office.

Ever since George Melies shot a rocket into the eye of the Man in the Moon or when Protazanov entertained the possibility of a proletarian uprising on Mars, and Fritz Lang spellbindingly dramatized the space travel, cinema has started gazing into the outer space and speculating about the mysteries lying beyond the reaches of Earth. Subsequently, the space race between the 1950 and 1970s encouraged the craving for space-set sci-fi narratives. Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) might not be the greatest blockbuster hit like the later-era space operas like Star Wars and Star Trek franchise. Yet, it was one of the earlier films to offer a deeply perceptive look at humans’ existence in the universe.

The more we learned about the cosmos, our feelings of wonderment were mixed with feelings of dread. The question of what’s out there continues to haunt these creators. But the problem with most...

The animated feature was made on a reported budget of $40 million and has already recovered worldwide. It has been produced by Dreamworks Animation and distributed by Universal Pictures. The film also expanded overseas and is moving towards the $100 million milestone worldwide.

Leonard Shelby can try to remember Sammy Jankis all he wants, but Guy Pearce would truly like to forget Memento. Despite Christopher Nolan’s film being a breakout for both the star and its director, Pearce insists he gives an absolutely terrible performance in it, even too bad to forget.

Speaking with The Times, Guy Pearce — who earned his share of acclaim for Memento, although most went to Nolan’s screenplay – admitted that his performance as the tattooed amnesiac is one he genuinely despises and it stands as the chief reason why he hasn’t worked with the director since. “…I’m having an existential crisis. I watched Memento the other day and I’m still depressed. I’m sh*t in that movie. I’d never thought that before, but I did this Q&a of Memento earlier this month and decided to actually watch the film again. But...

Christopher Nolan directed Interstellar has finally been re-released in India after being postponed due to Pushpa 2. The movie is benefitting from this decision as it has collected winning numbers on its Day 2, despite multiple Indian films running in the theatres. Scroll below for the deets.

Nolan has a considerable fan following in India, and it has been one of the most anticipated Hollywood re-releases in recent times. This movie was originally released in 2014 and has been re-released in several places on the occasion of its tenth anniversary, which began in 2024. The film has arrived only at IMAX theatres, but that did not stop the fans from flocking to the theatres to watch this cinematic brilliance.

Interstellar is one of Christopher Nolan’s most popular movies, and its opening weekend at the Indian box office will potentially collect the same number this time around.

In terms of modern filmmaking, it's hard to do better than Christopher Nolan. Even dating back to his early works such as "The Prestige" and "Memento," it was clear that this man was something special. Everyone is going to have their favorites and yes, to an extent, film is a subjective medium. That said, Nolan's broad critical acclaim coupled with his ability to deliver a commercial hit makes him unrivaled in the 2000s. Rather quantifiably, he has proven himself to be the most consistently bankable director working in Hollywood today, and one pretty eye-popping stat proves it.

Nolan had a run from 2008 to 2017 that was, in a word, ridiculous. That run includes the $1 billion beloved blockbuster smash "The Dark Knight," his mind-bending thriller "Inception," DC's one-time highest-grossing movie ever "The Dark Knight Rises," the ambitious modern sci-fi classic "Interstellar," and...

Interstellar Re-Release Box Office Day 1 (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Interstellar, starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, and others, was re-released in Indian theatres yesterday. On social media, it was visible that the film had been hyped among its target audience, and that picture turned into reality when the relaunch of this Hollywood biggie registered good occupancy. It almost replicated the day 1 performance of the original run at the Indian box office. Keep reading for a detailed report!

Directed by Christopher Nolan, the Hollywood sci-fi biggie was originally released in 2014. During the original run, it earned a decent to good sum for its genre but wasn’t a big success. However, after its theatrical run, it gained a cult status among Indian Nolan fans. When the relaunch was postponed due to Pushpa 2, the outrage was witnessed on social media platforms. Now that it has finally arrived in theatres, Nolan enthusiasts filled in theatres.

You might expect that a man who has been doing production and set design on feature films for more than 30 years would be a bit jaded, and that earning a seventh Academy Award nomination for his work would be met with a shrug. But that’s not how it’s been for Nathan Crowley. Instead, the man who has made a career of being Christopher Nolan’s go-to production designer exudes joy and excitement while discussing his Oscar bid for Wicked on the eve of final voting on Feb. 11.

“I just wish we could do it all again,” asserts Crowley (watch his full Gold Derby interview above). When his interviewer expresses surprise at this declaration given that the usual feeling is one of relief, he assures, “I think we’ve all been spoiled, because nothing will live up to that experience. I look back on the two years I was...

IMDb's Top 250 movies is a tough list for modern films to reach. It contains the best movies with the highest crowd-sourced ratings from any and all genres. Some of these are clear-cut candidates, like Adrien Brody's historical music biopic "The Pianist," which comes in 32nd on the list. Other movies are less sobering and more fantastical. For instance, all three of Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy films are in the top 12.

Sci-fi shows up a lot, too. "Interstellar" is ranked 19th. "The Matrix" is 16th. "The Empire Strikes Back" occupies the 15th spot, and "Inception" is the highest-ranked sci-fi of them all at 14th. With so many classics already on the list, it's hard for new releases to make the cut. Case in point, just three movies from 2024 were added to the list's hallowed ranks — two of which were from the sci-fi genre.

Thandel, starring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi in key roles, has finally arrived in theatres. Backed by good music and a decent trailer, the film managed to create awareness among the audience. The advance booking for day 1 started slowly, but it picked up quite well in the last 48 hours and fetched a good number in ticket sales.

Directed by Chandoo Mondeti, the Tollywood romantic action thriller was always expected to perform well in the Telugu states, and that’s exactly what happened, as the Telugu states majorly drove pre-sales. In the concluding numbers, Telangana was at the top among all states with pre-sales worth 1.71 crore gross.

Finally, the day all Christopher Nolan fans have been waiting for is here. We saw how they raised their voices during the release of Pushpa 2, and now, as Interstellar is re-released in theatres, they are showing their strength. In the advance booking itself, it was clear that the film would be smashing a surprising number on day 1. In fact, it is on track to create history at the Indian box office by surpassing Thalapathy Vijay’s Ghilli. Keep reading for a detailed prediction and pre-sales report!

The 2014 epic sci-fi drama was supposed to be re-released in Indian theatres in December 2024, but since Pushpa 2 grabbed almost all IMAX screens, it was pushed ahead. Many Nolan fans then expressed their disappointment on social media and argued that the Hollywood biggie was better than Pushpa 2 for IMAX viewing.

Loveyapa Box Office Day 1 Prediction ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor’s Loveyapa is finally out in theatres. Considering the concept and overall feel, the film should have attracted the footfalls of youth, but that seems to be not happening. Of course, it has an entire day ahead of it, but as far as advance booking is concerned, the film has failed to earn a respectable number at the Indian box office. This puts it in an uncomfortable position on day 1. Keep reading for a detailed prediction report!

Directed by the Secret Superstar and Laal Singh Chaddha fame Advait Chandan, the latest romantic comedy offers light-hearted content. The target audience for the film is Gen Z, and since the trailer and the title song grabbed some attention, it could have been a decent opener. However, the makers failed to create momentum days before the release.

There is some visibility about Loveyapa,...

Timothee Chalamet has quickly emerged as one of the more unique Hollywood leading men in recent years. With his lanky frame, brooding vigor and deeply felt sensitivity, the young man has become one of the most notable stars of his generation. His career began in TV movies and series, with recurring roles on such shows as Homeland and Royal Pains. He made his film debut in the Jason Reitman film Men, Women & Children in a relatively minor part. Those smaller roles continued through 2016 in films like Interstellar and The Adderall Diaries, playing younger versions of principal characters.

While Chalamet had a handful of substantial roles in indie movies, like 2016’s Miss Julie, everything changed the following year with the release of Call Me by Your Name. The actor’s sensitive portrayal of a 17-year-old finding his first great love garnered universal praise and landed him an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

Squid Game dominated the streaming charts, though it cooled off a good amount in its third week at No. 1. Landman also peaked following its season finale, and American Primeval had a strong debut.

For the week of Jan. 6-12, Squid Game racked up 2.37 billion minutes of viewing on Netflix, according to Nielsen’s streaming ratings. That’s down by about 48 percent from the previous week — but still almost a billion minutes clear of Landman in second place. Since the Dec. 26 premiere of season two, Squid Game has totaled 11.88 billion minutes of watch time in the United States.

As for Landman, its 1.38 billion minutes for the week leading into its Jan. 12 season finale continued the Paramount+ drama’s streak of improving every week it’s been on. It grew from 1.3 billion minutes a week earlier.

American Primeval, a western from Peter Berg, was the top premiere of the week with 1.25 billion viewing minutes on Netflix.

Sanam Teri Kasam Re-Release Box Office Day 1 Advance Booking Update (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane’s Sanam Teri Kasam is all set for its relaunch tomorrow, and it seems that the original run’s opening day 1 collection will be comfortably surpassed. Nine years later, the film aims to pull off some surprising numbers despite multiple releases arriving in theatres tomorrow. The film also has a strong chance of surpassing the day 1 collection of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (re-release) at the Indian box office.

Directed by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, the Bollywood romantic drama was originally released in 2016. Upon its release, the film received mixed reviews from critics. It couldn’t fare well even among the audience and was declared a flop affair theatrically. Over the years, with its music building its fan base, the film became popular among youth and built its loyal following.
