该影片发行面很广（当地影院普遍放映）。

The film is on general release, ie is being shown widely at local cinemas.

宝莱坞电影中的歌曲经常先于影片发行，还可能创造或者超越电影的成功。

Songs from Bollywood movies are often released in advance of the movie, and can make or break that movie’s success.

不过他们在80年代反倒是接着那部经典影片发行了一系列烂俗的续集，而且完全与他的那本书无关。

Instead they followed up the classic with a series of cheesy sequels in the '80s that were totally unrelated to his book.
