go wide

Open in theaters everywhere

Go wide means to spread out or expand, often to cover more area or reach a broader audience.

In sports, a shot that goes wide misses the target by veering to the side: The kick went wide of the goal.

In film and photography, going wide means using a wide-angle lens or pulling back for a broader view.

In business, to go wide is to expand distribution or release something broadly: The movie goes wide next weekend.
