Why Movies Today Are Longer Than Ever Before
This past holiday, if you went to theaters to see "Les Misérables," "Django Unchained," and "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" you spent 492 minutes (537 if you account for an added 45 minutes of trailers and previews). That's nearly nine hours!
We've compared the length of the highest-grossing films and big theatrical releases of the past few years. The findings show we're more inclined to sit in theaters longer today to see the most-anticipated films of the year. And, the trend shows no sign of stopping.
