Limited vs Moderate vs Wide release...
Wide Release is an opener that releases in 650+ theaters and adjusts depending on the type of weekend (usually 2.7 * Fri - Sun) and delists after 4 weekends
Limited Release is a movie that opens in less than 650 theaters and does not adjust and delists after 12 weekends.
Moderate Release is a label that HSX created (and uses sparringly) for movies that are either on the bubble of opening wide/limiited (like the release is expected in 500 - 650 theaters) or movies that are opening very large for a limited release (like 400-600 theaters) and/or for large limited releases that are suspected to expand later into a wide release.
Estimated and/or exact number of theaters is not known until closer to release. Moderate just lets you know it might be a limited that is being released into a larger amount of theaters than the average limited designation.

fyi, HSX did not create Moderate. It's used by ERC which gets it from the studio releasing the film. {nm} Jul 21, 10:36
