Avengers: Infinity War

an official runtime of...182 minutes

excellent. I just rewatched infinity war and it took a week to get through. It made it feel like the movie version of a summer crossover event.

jesus

He's been added to the cast too.

Damn, that's almost as long as two Game of Thrones episodes

lol ned

I think this will be the 2nd-longest film I've seen in the theater, after Titanic.

mine woulda been Hateful 8 if I'd been on time for the roadshow extended version

that “arrrgh” noise is all the theaters realizing they’ll be able to cram in one fewer showing per day

hopefully they do throw Kang into this and he helps the audience jump through the last hour to cut to the end

oh yeah my take on infinity war upon second viewing is that it's still a blast

I think this will be the 2nd-longest film I've seen in the theater, after Titanic.

If I were going to see this in the cinema, it would make #7:

• Lawrence of Arabia (227 mins)
• Apocalypse Now Redux (202 mins.)
• The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (201 mins)
• The Godfather Part II (200 mins)
• It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (192 mins)
• Short Cuts (187 mins)

assuming that ten minutes of the credits are just gonna be listing visual effects artists under contractual obligations that the above didn't have, might as well throw in

• Dances with Wolves (180 mins)

...under that loophole, the first two Jackson LOTRs would fill the top ten, but I fell asleep in both of them.

you pussies need to see more Argentinian arthouse movies

how many could I really conceivably see though

I think the longest movies I've seen in the cinema are La belle noiseuse (238 minutes) and the original cut of Seven Samurai (207 minutes). The Seven Samurai screening had an intermission in the middle, they even used the original Japanese intermission card and music. I think any movie that runs for 3 hours or more should have one, though obviously most cinemas probably wouldn't do it for business reasons.

In terms of mainstream Hollywood movies, Titanic did have an intermission (at least when it was released in Ireland)

Oh? It didn't have one in here.

twas to allow ppl to come in at cobh

Longest uninterrupted film I've seen at the cinema was a 5h 38 min Laz Diaz joint - at about the five hour mark the digital projection momentarily faltered, much to the audience's consternation (imagine getting that far into a film and not seeing it through to the end). Luckily the projection resumed OK a few seconds later.

love an intermission. when i saw lawrence of arabia a few years ago (prob my longest) they used it-- a bunch of strangers standing outside smoking and talking about the movie. nice.

was reading about von stroheim's greed the other day and wanted someone to write a play set at the intermission(s)? of its single full screening:

Other than studio personnel, only twelve people saw the original 42-reel version of Greed at a special screening in January 1924; they included Harry Carr, Rex Ingram, Aileen Pringle, Carmel Myers, Idwal Jones, Joseph Jackson, Jack Jungmeyer, Fritz Tidden, Welford Beaton, Valentine Mandelstam, and Jean Bertin. After the screening Jones, Carr and Ingram all agreed that they had just seen the greatest film ever made and that it was unlikely that a better film would ever be made. Carr wrote a review of the advance screening where he raved that he "saw a wonderful picture the other day—that no one else will ever see ... I can't imagine what they are going to do with it."

Yeah, Norte, the End of History is the longest I've seen - at a comparatively sprightly 250 minutes

How long was Brannagh Hamlet?

I guess Apocalypse Now: Do-Over Edition was the longest I saw in the theater, never wanted it to eeeeeeend

242 mins xp

I saw Return of the King in the theater, so this punch em up will be #3.

Tree of Life was a hair longer than this 'un. I'd wager I've seen my share of 3+ hour films on a big screen (and a good number more at home).

that “arrrgh” noise is all the theaters realizing they’ll be able to cram in one fewer showing per day

Not if they put it on another screen!

I'm kinda surprised to have just looked and discovered that 2001 is only 164 minutes.

Last time I checked out superhero nerd youtube videos (midnight's edge, etc), they were complaining about movies being cut down to under 2 hours before release. Daredevil was a popular example -- and after the director's version of that was released, they replaced it with Zach Snyder's oeuvre. They didn't seem to catch on that movies were being trimmed down because they were bad. This ought to please the little SOBs.

Who tf in 2019 is wasting their breath on the Daredevil movie

Do not sully the brave men who put themselves in harm's way in 2003

that “arrrgh” noise is all the theaters realizing they’ll be able to cram in one fewer showing per day

Ah, they'll just show it on 7 screens instead of 5.

They will show the movie across two screens in conjoined theaters and you have to buy tix to both to see the left and right side of the screen

Also: Theatres will be open 24 hours and Marvel Studios will be offering fans collectable portable urinals.

Have a cinema poster or 32.

not sure there's a more bombastic intermission break than this one

Tickets on sale. Enjoy a new trailer in the meantime:

I realized that Dogville was longer by just a smidge. Surely this will be less painful than Dogville.

FYI, if you're trying to avoid spoilers, I'd avoid even the marketing and merchandise at this point. Depictions of the Hulk alone seem to constitute a spoiler for those who know what they're looking for.

Jennifer Walters or gtfo

the "Dead Hulk Playset" is a bit of a giveaway tbf

Only if you know it exists, sheesh!

Seriously, though, for those who aren't spoiler-averse, click the link and take a look at that face. Tell me it doesn't mean what I think it means: https://cdn3.movieweb.com/i/article/wk8dbGSiD1ftidQzSv9Zav7h7tmXQj/798:50/Avengers-4-Leaked-Art-Quantum-Realm-Costumes-Fake.jpg

Hahaha, I went to look for tickets for the 6pm showing at my favorite theater on opening night and uh

That was after waiting in a queue for 12 minutes.

I guess this is gonna be successful

yeah i agree with your line of thinking OL

An hour and twenty minutes wait and only because Alamo finally admitted their system was fucked and gave out a Fandango link instead, but opening night tickets in metaphorical hand, at least.

I will still be in WDW on opening night, and even if the notion of spending a night of our vacation at the movies didn't feel like a complete misuse of the time I'd estimate my chances of getting tickets to the Disney Springs AMC at around -150%.

If you are at Disney they should project it on the side of the magic castle.

Got mine
