      Huh, I have been noticing that recently. I wonder what’s driving the shift.

      That’s somewhat surprising given the stereotype that people have shorter attention spans. I am guessing that filmmakers have given up on trying to appeal to more casual fans.

      I attribute this to the decline of physical media. In the VHS era you had two hours to get it done.

      I think this might actually be a symptom of there being more films from smaller studios. These guys aim to show the peak of what they can do, which often equates to a longer runtime.

      It costs 20 CAD$ to go to a movie nowadays. Bring your partner, buy popcorn and 2 sodas and you’re around 70 CAD$. A teenager would have to work 5 hours to make enough money to afford a date at the movies. So, at this price, movie goers are expecting more. It’s not easy to make better movies but it’s super easy to make longer movies.

      Who the hell wants an over 2 hour movie? I like something short and sharp 90-100 mins pls

      The real reason is that movies are now being made to be streamed at home instead of being watched in theaters.

      Notice this trend started during the pandemic.

      When you’re watching a movie at home, you can pause, you can resume another day. Short attention spans and small bladders aren’t as much of a problem.

      There could be some bias in the past few years due to the vote cutoff, ie, longer movies are more likely to reach that threshold faster. Does it look the same if you lower to 100 votes?

      I remember noticing the trend as a teenager, I remember saying that eventually we’ll hit a breaking point between runtime and people’s bladders. And a movie will be so long that intermissions will come back.

      I do not like longer movies. I don’t have the time to sit through a 3 hour movie. It takes me an hour to drive to a theater. I don’t enjoy spending over 5 hours to go watch’s movie. I think two hours is perfect except in rare situations. Also working full time watch for two hours as opposed to three hour movies make night time routines rushed and unpleasant.

      Misleading chart. 

      The scale on the left is mean and median and it’s a few more minutes per movie.

      But the scale on the right is number of movies, and it’s quadrupled.

      Also, how did they count? Because if they just looked at the listing data, that includes end titles, which have grown a lot themselves.
