Avatar running time set, new international poster
November 23, 2009 – 5:12 pmDen of Geek gives the latest news on Avatar in IMAX:
We were suspecting that the running time of the film might push the three hour mark, but The Hollywood Reporter has now said that, due to the limitations of IMAX technology, there are maximums in place for how long the film can run for. Thus, the final running time of Avatar, with credits, is therefore set to be 156 minutes.
. . .
The film is booked into US cinemas for eight weeks at least, with a far longer run (with no competition on the horizon) for IMAX screens. It’ll be playing in IMAX cinemas until at least March. Meanwhile, the US roll-out is expected to see it on 3500 3D screens, which we’re guessing isn’t as big a number as James Cameron would wish for.
Also check out the new international poster:
Directed by James Cameron, the film tells the story of a reluctant hero who embarks on a journey of redemption, discovery and unexpected love, as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization.
It opens December 18, 2009 in 3D and 2D in IMAX and conventional theaters.
