Count me out. Sony's exhibitor relations site has 90 min. I sent an email to my rep just to confirm the correct time. But after several recent errors, I don't trust Sony's site much. You would think the studio could at least get the information correct on their own site.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-18-2009 08:45 PM                        IME says 158 minutes too.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Almost all of the classic films that were presented as Road Shows such as THE SOUND OF MUSIC, BEN HUR, TEN COMMANDMENTS, GIANT, DR. ZHIVAGO, CLEOPATRA and so many other were all over three hours long. Even, TITANIC, the highest grossing film in history was over three hours long. -Claude  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

A long running time doesn't make an epic film. It can give you one hellava numb bum though.  |  IP: Logged Ron Curran Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 504 From: Springwood NSW Australia Registered: Feb 2006 posted 10-18-2009 11:47 PM                        Is 2012 the finish time?  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
