In the American motion picture industry, a wide release is a motion picture that is playing nationally. This is contrast to a film that is having premiere showings at a few cinemas (usually in New York and Los Angeles), or is in limited release at selected cinemas in larger cities around the country. Specifically, a movie is considered to be a wide release when it plays in 600 cinemas or more in the United States and Canada.[1]


In the U.S., films holding an NC-17 rating have almost never received wide releases. Showgirls (1995) is the only film with an NC-17 rating to have a wide release.[2]


The 1975 film Breakout was the first major studio film to go into wide release in its opening week, with Columbia Pictures distributing 1300 prints nationwide, combined with a heavy national advertising campaign.[3]
