This past weekend, movie enthusiasts were clamoring for tickets to watch Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar' on the big screen, despite the film being available for home viewing for years. The science fiction masterpiece, starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, raked in an impressive $4.5 million from just 166 screens in the U.S. and Canada.
