Wide releases of 2019: a handy list

2019review

It counts as a “wide release” if it plays on at least 600 screens. There were 146 of those this year, the fewest since 2014. Movies that opened small and eventually expanded to more than 600 theaters are included, as are films currently in limited release that are scheduled to go wide in January (marked by an asterisk). Links are to my reviews, which contain verified accurate opinions.
