“Birdman,” named Best Picture at Sunday’s Academy Awards, is returning to theaters in a big way.
Fox Searchlight said Monday that it will have the dark comedy in more than 1,000 theaters this weekend. Directed by Alejandro G. Inarritu, the film also won a Best Director Oscar.
Re-releasing the film is a bold play by distributor Fox Searchlight, because it became available on DVD and On-Demand last week.
