big screen
Where films play
Big screen refers to cinema—movies shown in theaters rather than watched at home: The film was made for the big screen.
The phrase distinguishes theatrical releases from television, streaming, or home video.
An actor who makes it to the big screen has transitioned from smaller venues to major film productions.
