Most movie scripts are 120 pages and a page translates to roughly a minute of film, hence most films being about just under 2 hours. It's quite genre dependent as comedies and animations are rarely more than 90 minutes, but summer blockbusters and thrillers are usually about 2 hours.
This project attempts to calculate an average. Though his claim is skewered by choosing the top 50 rated films, which I'd argue favours longer art movies over shorter genre movies.

∙ 7y agoMost movies shown in theatres in USA are in the two hour range, from ninety minutes to two-plus hours, depending on what the director believes is the necessary amount of screen time to serve the story adequately.
Director's cuts are usually longer, and when films are shown on television, they are always edited for time -- to make way for the commercials that sponsor the film in that medium.
