INTERSTELLAR No. 1 At Worldwide Weekend Box Office

While DUMB AND DUMBER TO and BIG HERO 6 may have delivered the one-two punch at this weekend’s domestic box office, it was Christopher Nolan’s INTERSTELLAR that reached stratospheric heights around the globe.

Rentrak’s Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian commented, “Interstellar continues its solid orbit around the globe in 64 territories topping both the international and worldwide box office charts for the second straight week as it eclipses the $300 million mark.” Nolan’s sci-fi epic opens in Japan on November 22nd.

Dergarabedian also noted, “On Friday, The Walt Disney Studios surpassed $4 billion in global box office for the second time in its history and in studio record time, they previously accomplished this feat in 2013, reaching $4 billion on November 26th.”
