Sara Bareilles | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

The filmed version of Broadway’s Waitress: The Musical was a surprise hit at the box office this past weekend and now the movie will stay in theaters longer than expected!

Sara Bareilles leads the cast of the musical, which she wrote for the stage. The show opened on Broadway back in 2016 and closed in January 2020. The musical returned to Broadway for a limited engagement in late 2021, which is when the show was filmed for theatrical release.

Bleecker Street Pictures and Fathom Events teamed up for the theatrical release and the original plan was for the film to be in theaters for just 5 days.

In the first four days of release, the movie has grossed $3.5 million at the box office.
