Japan had a different opening date: Warner Bros. Japan announced screenings beginning November 22, 2024, matching the date of the film’s original Japanese release. The two dates describe separate market announcements, not one worldwide opening. Warner Bros. Japan’s announcement provides the local details.
Was the anniversary screening in 70mm IMAX?
Yes, the IMAX listing included 70mm IMAX film, alongside IMAX Digital. The available sources establish those formats for the limited engagement; they do not establish that every participating theater or territory offered both.

What came in the Interstellar 4K UHD anniversary edition?
Warner Bros. Japan documented a limited edition released January 22, 2025, containing one 4K Ultra HD disc, one Blu-ray feature disc and one bonus Blu-ray, along with collectible inserts. The announced Japanese price was ¥15,180 including tax. Those contents and that historical price refer to this Japan edition; they are not universal specifications or a current price. Warner Bros. Japan’s product announcement lists its configuration.
The Associated Press reported that Nolan approved a new 4K UHD set available during the North American anniversary period. The available sources do not establish one uniform worldwide disc configuration, so buyers should check the specific edition and territory rather than assume the Japanese limited set describes every release. A home 4K edition is also not the same presentation as a 70mm IMAX theatrical screening.
What was the anniversary IMAX engagement’s reported box office?
The Associated Press reported that the North American anniversary weekend took in $4.5 million from 166 screens in the United States and Canada. Across the 10 70mm IMAX film screens, the reported average was $70,000 per theater. These figures apply to that specific weekend and market; they are not general IMAX performance benchmarks.
Speaking to the AP, Nolan interpreted the response as evidence that audiences value a communal big-screen experience, even when they have had the opportunity to see a film at home. That is his reading of the event, not a survey finding about all viewers. IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond also told the AP that the result exceeded expectations and recalled, in a limited way, the excitement around Oppenheimer.

What to check before looking for a screening or disc
- Screenings: The anniversary engagement was limited and took place in 2024. The historical announcements do not establish current showtimes.
- Disc editions: Compare the exact territory and package contents. The Japanese limited edition included a bonus disc and collectibles, but that does not establish what another market’s release contains.
- Availability and price: The sources do not establish current retailer stock, streaming availability or present-day prices. The Japanese ¥15,180 figure was the announced price for that edition, not a current quote.
