Sultan Runtime compared to other big movies

3 hours agoby Indicine Team17 Comments2 min read


Sultan' will be Salman Khan's longest film this decade, as the film is 4 minutes longer than Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' and 10 minutes longer than his biggest grosser Bajrangi Bhaijaan'.

While runtime does not make a difference to the lifetime collections of films, it could have a significant impact on the opening day collections - especially for films that are targeting record opening at the box office.

A 120-minute film like Dabangg 2' can be played 6-7 times in a day per multiplex screen, because the turnaround' time per show will be around 140-145 minutes (time gap between the beginning of one show and the next - which includes runtime of a film plus added time for theatre clean-up, audience exit / enter etc).

Whereas, a film like Sultan' can only get 4-5 shows per screen, as the turnaround' time crosses the 3 hour mark and goes to around 190-195 minutes. On an all-India level, this could mean a negative impact of around 10% on Day 1 business.

Check out the runtime comparison between Sultan and other big films.

I am not fan of longer run time, but sometimes a story needs to be told and if its a good movie, let it be longer.

If it is as engaging & Lovable as BB then Go For it !! 👍🏼 . Me & my Family loved BB soo much that Noone of us wanted it to end

I dont think its that long plus in theaters it says less run time ten whats printed, and even bajrangi waa stated to be more then it was!!

I hope its not too long and too boring.
