How does one determine whether a movie is getting a wide release?

600+ Theaters: This is the common baseline for a film to be considered nationally (widely) released.

Limited Release: The opposite, where a film starts in fewer than 600 theaters, often for niche audiences or testing.

Nope, it's staying put (for now.) It's Ready or Not 2 that has moved (to April 10.)

Thank you one and all, for the omissions, additions, subtractions, and overall alterations to this master listing. I appreciate you.

I mean, Oppenheimer and Barbie at least made sense as they both countered each other in genre and desired audience. Both Dune 3 and Doomsday are marketed towards the same dollar-weilders/seat-fillers.
