75Live Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 1 minute ago, baumer said: With a run time being this long it also shows that the studio has incredible confidence in the movie. The actual novel is around 1,100 pages so it totally makes sense that the two chapters are basically about five hours long. I'm really excited to see it. Yeah I'm not getting the concerns about it being a longer movie. Plenty of genres have had longer movies and no one's complained. The only time anyone complains is if the movie is bad, but that's an obvious problem 😛 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unheard of though - there's a film currently in cinemas called MIDSOMMAR that's very long, and even has an extended cut coming out. Go check that out.

OncomingStorm93 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 1 hour ago, The Horror of Lucas Films said: I'm worried with it's BO potential now. People aren't used to long Horror movies, and it isn't an EG situation where the fanbase is big enough to support the movie despite the long duration. I think that It's fanbase, relative to it's genre, is astronomical. It's the #1 grossing R-rated horror film of all time, by a considerable margin. An extra 30 minutes of movie will not dissuade people. In fact, it is more likely to do the opposite. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsommar is like 18 minutes shorter than this though. I can't think of any horror film of this decade that even hit 160 minutes let alone 165. Even the Suspiria remake is 152 minutes long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This movie is an Event Horror movie and conclusion to a monster hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGAR4LIFE Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) That last trailer made this film more than just a direct sequel to the highest grossing horror film, it made it into an event. Wouldn’t be surprised if it beats the original on its OW record and WW total. Edited July 27, 2019 by JGAR4LIFE 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably one of the most profitable movie for them barring Wonder Woman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) I just love how everyone pretended the sex scene from the book was cut in the first movie. It was there. But it makes people squirm so no one talked about it. I am even surprised it was there in puritania america.

Biggestgeekever Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Since hearing the news about the runtime, I've rewatched the final trailer probably a dozen times. It is really fucking good, especially Skarsgard's deliver of "I've missed you!" gives me chills. I dunno yet if this will match the first, but I'm hoping we get the first R-rated $150M opener here. Horror films this summer have all underperformed, so I feel like there's a lot of potential demand. Anyone know when tickets are going on sale? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Thank god Endgame happened and showed Hollywood epic run times are commercially viable. I've missed big budget 150+ min flicks, we've had far too few this decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
