A curious thought. The Oppenheimer biopic sounds interesting, but repeat viewings of it?

"To take more, they will need to appeal outside their expected audiences - largely women, and couples on dates for Barbie; males, Nolan fans and art-house cinema buffs for Oppenheimer - and attract repeat viewings."

Can Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible, Margot Robbie in Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer really save cinemas?

Will Mission: Impossible, Barbie and Oppenheimer save cinemas?

The Super Mario Bros Movie has been much more successful than anyone predicted – and has shown audiences are going to the movies for the right release.

Oh god I read the words "Christopher Nolan’s epic biopic" in that article, and with sinking heart I looked up Oppenheimer runtime: 3 hours. Just no. Will wait for it on streaming.

@timrichards If they're going to do 3 hour movies in the theater, there needs to be a 20 minute intermission in there somewhere.

@c_dan4th Yes! When I was a kid there were intermissions in the really long films.

@timrichards And back then, the really long films were barely 2 hours! Watching the old classics now, I'm amazed at how short they are.
