The survey of 2,000 Americans, conducted by Speaker searchfound that the average person wants to spend a lot less time at the movies going forward.

Although 92 minutes was considered the ideal average length, only 2% of the 2,000 American adults surveyed thought a film should be longer than two and a half hours.

And only 15% want to watch a movie lasting two hours or more.

In the last 60 days, the average respondent feels they have watched two films that they considered too long, with 23% having reluctantly watched three or more.

The research also aimed to find out how ordinary citizens feel about subtitles.

According to the results, 15% say that whether subtitles should be on or off is a hotly debated topic in their families. Although 77% say it is not a total problem.

A third of respondents say they “never” use subtitles when watching TV at home, while only 16% say they “always” do so.

Interestingly, this number was very different between different age groups, as it turned out that younger Americans were big fans of the concept.

Thirty percent of Gen Z respondents “always” watch with subtitles, with 23% of millennials saying the same.

Meanwhile, just 13% of Gen Xers and 12% of boomers agreed.

DARK BACK

While three iconic children’s films are being praised for their length, another children’s film is under scrutiny for its deviation from lightheartedness.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are getting a tough makeover for their next film.

Paramount Pictures has announced that development on the new film, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, has begun in 2022.

However, the film will have a darker tone than its predecessors, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The film, whose release date remains unknown, will be rated R.

Spectators must be over 17 years old or accompanied by an adult.

The new film follows last year’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, which generated $118.6 million in revenue in the US and Canada.

The Mutant Mayhem version was rated PG and featured limited violent scenes.

The TMNT comics debuted in 1984, and shortly after, its creators granted production companies the rights to adapt the comics into a vibrant animated TV series in the late 1980s.

The stories have always remained light-hearted, which should change with the release of the next film, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin.
