The 3:10 run time was a bit of an arrogant move if they cared about selling tickets to the masses. My family would probably check it out if it was 2:30, but 3:10 is too much to ask for casual fans of the original.

I’d bet on it coming just short of top gun world wide. A decent run through the holidays and big drop off after new year’s seems likely.
Well if people are turned off by things that look cool because reasons then I guess the spectacle of the theatre isn’t for them in the first place. That kind of the whole point of blockbusters.

I can see how the run time is problematic for people who can’t sit still or comfortably that long but whatever. No one is forcing anyone to go. If Cameron wanted a 3 hour movie then the choice is to go see it or don’t. I don’t think he’s real worried about it.
