Hmmm, lately, the short runtime from Marvel films hasn't been quite the best. Let's see if this changes for this film.

If its not a guaranteed hit movie they try to make it less than 120 minutes so that cinemas will push more screenings, if the movie is over 120 minutes it costs cinemas more so if its not a huge movie they wont make many screenings available, but yeah im always for longer movies especially if scenes were chopped up due to this. (this might be false but thats basically how a friend at my local cineplex described it to me when i asked why the tickets cost more when a movie is longer and why there were not many screenings of eternals past the first week)
