The odeon (UK) website now has times for booking tickets for the 16th of November.

On the film description it states 145 minutes running time, although it may just be a provisional estimate

Ooh 2 hours 25 mins roll on CR

[kneelbeforezod]

Yeah I read an internal odeon email yesterday that said Sony were currently saying it was 2hrs 26mins... thats a good chunk of Bond!

The 2hr 25/26 min running time cut was what preview audiences saw. I'm glad EON didn't try to cut it back to 2:05 or 2:10.

It's ironic...one of the supposed reasons OHMSS underperformed (relative to the Connery movies) was its 2hr 20min running time, limiting exhibitors' screenings...

[Broadsword]

wow extra running time means more character development which means DC will be firmly established as Bond by the end of the film. Should put paid to alll those bring Brozzer back nuts!

Alot will be given over to the love story no doubt.

I'm not sure it means anything for anything, but another few minutes of Bond can't be bad! IMDB lists OHMSS as 140 minutes - not sure how accurate that is but this would make CR the longest film of the franchise.

On the OHMSS DVD case it's 142 minutes.

145 or 146 for CR would get a from me.

Sounds like it is pretty much in line with what CBn revealed earlier on.

140 min for OHMSS has been on the books since the premiere of the film in 1969. VHS and DVD copies may vary depending on countries and their NTSC or PAL format which would mean that the film would have to be compressed or sped up to avoid any frame flickering.

[Vauxhall]

As long as they haven't made cuts just for the sake of it, and that the character formulation scenes have survived I'm happy. Realistically, they have the opportunity to make one of the greatest Bond movies, and I'm glad they're giving it their best shot.

Yes, when you transfer film to PAL you have to run it at 25 frames per second and not 24, this is imperceptible as you watch but you lose a fair bit of running time over a two hour plus film, OHMSS runs for 140mins in cinemas but about 136mins on PAL transfer DVD and video.

The difference shall be the longer credits
