average length of a feature film?

does anyone know if theres actually some calculated number anywhere? im not sure thats really possible…but im wondering how long an average movie is.

i prefer more of the dramas which are usually about 2+ hours, but i know comedies are often 90 minutes. maybe that effects my opinion…

im just sick of people complaining that a movie was sooo long, and when i ask how long, they say two hours. i tell them thats not long at all, and they give me a look like “what kind of movies do you watch”, which though it seems rude, its the exact question id love to ask them. id say 2 hours is pretty typical.

anyone know? ps- im not asking for your opinion, im wondering if theres an actual average number…

  • The standard is pretty much 1 hr. 30 minutes/ 90 minutes. I think that the reason why movies are standardized that way, is because that’s the time needed to watch the movie all in one sitting without going to the bathroom. A movie like Titanic, which was way over 2 hours, probably has people going in and out of the bathroom. Well, this isn’t probably the explanation you were hoping for but I somehow remember it like this.
