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 ofNolan’s first films, 2000’sMemento, 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 wasThe 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 hisDark Knighttrilogy in 2012,Nolan’s next venture was another original, ambitious sci-fi filmthat became a big box office hit and won various accolades.
Nolan’s historical films,DunkirkandOppenheimer, were also big box office hits that won multiple Oscars.

Our Take On Interstellar’s Netflix Success
It’s Better Experienced In IMAX
Interstellarwas 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.SeeingInterstellarin 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.
Interstellarwas nominated for five Academy Awards for Best Original Score, Best Production Design, Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Mixing, winning for Best Visual Effects.
