Movie theaters across America are finally making room for "The Room."
The 2003 cult-classic film created by and starring Tommy Wiseau is getting a wide release more than 14 years after its initial premiere, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Over 500 cinemas will show the movie in the United States on Jan. 10 _ a month after "The Disaster Artist," James Franco's movie about the making of "The Room," hit theaters.
"The Room," which Wiseau also directed and produced, is revered by fans for being so bad its good thanks to wacky lines, unanswered storylines and memorable characters like Wiseau's Johnny and Greg Sestero's Mark.
It was initially only screened in a few theaters in California after its 2003 release, but has since garnered a tremendous cult following. Midnight showings of the movie in major American cities continue to earn large crowds today.
Franco based his movie "The Disaster Artist" _ which he directed and stars in as Wiseau _ on the 2013 book by the same name written by Sestero, who was a close friend of Wiseau, in addition to being his co-star in the movie.
Wiseau, meanwhile, gave his stamp of approval to Franco's movie and helped promote the film ahead of its premiere. He was excited when news of "The Room" wide release broke.
"14 { years! Never give up!" Wiseau tweeted Tuesday.
