Christopher Nolan's $740M Oscar-Winning Movie Lands On Netflix's Top 10 US Charts 11 Years Later
Christopher Nolan's Oscar-winning movie that made $740 million at the box office has landed on Netflix's Top 10 US chart a decade later. The visionary filmmaker is known for masterfully combining complex storytelling with visual spectacle, which often does very well at the box office, making him the seventh-highest-grossing director of all time, and is often showered with major accolades, including two Oscars. One of Nolan's first films, 2000's Memento, did very well at the box office, grossing over $40 million on a small $5–9 million budget and received two Oscar nods, one for Nolan's nonlinear screenplay.
Nolan's first true blockbuster was The Dark Knight, which made over $1 billion at the box office, the highest-grossing film of 2008, and won two Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actor for Heath Ledger's menacing performance as the Joker. Next, Nolan leveraged that success to make his own original sci-fi film, Inception, which also saw box office success, grossing $839 million and winning four Oscars in technical categories. After completing his Dark Knight trilogy in 2012, Nolan's next venture was another original, ambitious sci-fi film that became a big box office hit and won various accolades.
Nolan's historical films, Dunkirk and Oppenheimer, were also big box office hits that won multiple Oscars.
Interstellar Lands On Netflix's Top 10 US Chart
It Ranks 8th For This Week
Interstellar has landed on Netflix's Top 10 US chart a decade after its release. Directed by Christopher Nolan, who co-wrote the screenplay with his brother Jonathan Nolan, the 2014 sci-fi film follows a farmer and former NASA pilot who, during a dystopian future in which Earth is plagued by devastating blight and famine, embarks on a space mission to travel through a wormhole near Saturn in search of a new home for mankind. Matthew McConaughey leads Interstellar's cast alongside Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, John Lithgow, Michael Caine, Casey Affleck, Timothée Chalamet, Matt Damon, and more.
Now, a decade after its original release, Christopher Nolan's ambitious sci-fi spectacle has landed on Netflix's Top 10 US chart. Interstellar ranks eighth on Netflix's Top 10 movies in the United States for this week. It ranks below Carry-On, The Six Triple Eight, Horizon: An American Saga: Chapter 1, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, In the Heart of the Sea, The Watchers, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and above Dune: Part Two and The Forge.
Our Take On Interstellar's Netflix Success
It's Better Experienced In IMAX
Interstellar was recently re-released in IMAX this past December for its 10th anniversary, and I was one of those who was lucky enough to experience the film in the format that Nolan intended it to be seen. Seeing Interstellar in IMAX is a transcendent experience, replete with reverberating sound and the format's expanded aspect ratio that fills your entire peripheral vision. However, Interstellar's re-release was limited to certain cities, so for those who were unable to see it in IMAX, settling for Netflix is an understandable, if regrettable alternative.
Interstellar was nominated for five Academy Awards for Best Original Score, Best Production Design, Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Mixing, winning for Best Visual Effects.
