I am the guy who will tell you all the latest news in film and television in 3DJuegos. I am passionate about science fiction, fantasy, superheroes and film curiosities, those little behind-the-scenes stories of the directors and actors we have been following since we were little. My favorite saga? Star Trek. My favorite character? Superman, although lately a little more John Wick. One last thing, I promise not to bore you too much in my topics. LinkedIn
A new market study carried out by Talker Research, and shared with its audience by The Guardian, ensures that the perfect length For a film it should be 92 minutes, just over an hour and a half of footage. Are you agree? The truth is that few recent blockbusters come close to the figure.
After questioning more than 2,000 Americans online, the research firm found that The average user mostly prefers films that do not exceed two hours of footage, 15% choose that they last between two hours and two and a half hours and only 2% say they prefer them even longer. “In the last 60 days, the average respondent feels that they have seen two movies that seemed too long, and 23% have reluctantly watched three or more,” they add in conclusion from Talker Research.
The biggest hits, over two hours
The Guardian points out very well in their publication that only 9 of the 10 most successful films in history They lasted less than two hours—the only one that isn’t The Lion King, in case you were wondering. Furthermore, films like Avengers: Endgame easily exceed two and a half hours, so we can say that the public is doing their bit. On the other hand, it is not that Hollywood is seeing great interest in releasing projects of only 90 minutes, beyond some comedy or horror film.
Be that as it may, it seems that this is a recurring debate in the industry. Already with the premiere of Dune: Part 2, with two hours and 46 minutes of footage, voices were heard against such long productions. You guys, what do you think? Are Hollywood blockbusters too long or are they okay that way?
