theatrical run
Performance season length
A theatrical run is the period during which a film is shown in movie theaters before moving to home video or streaming.
A film's theatrical run determines much of its box office performance: The movie had a limited theatrical run before going straight to Netflix.
Blockbusters may enjoy runs lasting months, while smaller films might get only a few weeks.
