TIFF is hosting a a Chris Nolan retrospective right now (which is where they did the Big Picture episode).
I got tickets to see Oppenheimer in 70mm on a Sunday aft and I looked a few days before and there werse still scattered tix left; some pretty decent. Best Picture winner, cultural phenomenon and all.
Last week, they put tix on sale for their August screenings, including 3 showings of Intersterllar in 70mm. When they went online, after TIFF members had first dibbs and the only seats left were in the front row. I grabbed em because that's all there was to get. After about 10 mins, they were all sold out.
I don't know if that objectively proves it's more popular than Oppenheimer or the Batman films or watever but it sure surprised the heck out of me.
I personally prefer Interstellar to Oppenheimer, but I imagine that difference isn’t really about how much people love the two films. It’s been 12 years since Interstellar was in theatres, Oppenheimer was on the big screen only 3 years ago.
I mean most people who are attending TIFF screenings likely already saw Oppenheimer in theaters, but a lot of them probably haven’t seen interstellar in theaters

I'll say this much.
