There is also the problem in the current multi-plex environment of keeping track of who is in which theater and having patrons coming out and going back in during an intermission compounds this problem. You might also ask the opposite question - what's the longest movie you've seen without an intermission? Today theaters seem reluctant to include one, even in movies that run well over the three hour mark, presumably because it cuts down on the number of showings they can scheduled per day but also perhaps because a generation raised without the tradition of intermissions in films might not understand the concept and assume the movie is over if there is a break halfway through. Though a joke intermission, Kung Pow! Enter The First runs 81 minutes and has an intermission. I believe that in Britain, it only ran 128 minutes.

It had a typically impressive orchestral climax and there was a play-in to the second part although this was largely atonal music which had accompanied city scenes in the first part.Īt only 119 minutes this must be one of the shortest films to have had a studio approved Intermission.Īlso, could someone remind me?

Watching LOGAN'S RUN on TV I remembered that, on its UK release, there was an Intermission shortly after the encounter with Box. as opposed to one stuck in by the cinema in order to boost popcorn sales.
