Nolan alone can't open a movie. We know that now. Interstellar had mystery box trailers selling pretty much only Nolan's name, and because of that, it had an underwhelming OW but legged its way to a very respectable total. Nolan generally makes good movies that connect with audiences, so saying he's "done" is pretty funny.

 

Alternatively, The Martian has had terrific marketing selling lighter, more relatable fare than Interstellar (not a criticism of Interstellar) with more of a clear hook ("Bring Him Home" vs. "From the Director of the Dark Knight Trilogy and Interstellar: What Else Do You Need to Know?"). It's also an adaptation of a really popular book. 

 

Sure, $65M might be a stretch, but this has a lot of things going for it. It should open big.
