‘Moonlight’ Heading Back To Theaters After Best Picture Win

Best-picture winner “Moonlight” is heading back into theaters in what will be its widest release yet.

Its distributor, A24, said the film will play in about 1,500 theaters this weekend. “Moonlight” first opened in late October, and while it played in 585 theaters last weekend, it’s out on DVD and digital rental.

The film’s long release never surpassed 1,104 screens. By comparison, most major wide-release films open on 3,000 or more screens.
