eyes wide shut

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'film with endless sex due for distribution having received' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'approval' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'approval' could be 'yes' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'yes' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eyes wide shut that I've seen before include "Paradoxical title of 1999 Kubrick film" , "Tom Cruise film" .)
