Paramount Pictures made the exciting announcement of the film's re-release at CinemaCon, the annual exhibition industry conference held in Las Vegas.

Warner Bros., the co-producer of the movie, will collaborate with Paramount on this special revival.
Christopher Nolan, known for his visionary filmmaking, recently received the Best Director award at the Oscars for his film 'Oppenheimer,' a historical drama exploring the development of the atomic bomb. The movie also clinched the prestigious Best Picture award and amassed nearly $1 billion in box office revenue, solidifying its status as one of the top-grossing films of 2023.
In addition to 'Interstellar,' Nolan's action-packed thriller 'Tenet' has also been re-released in theaters, further showcasing the director's enduring appeal and box office prowess.
