Disney/ Marvel is considering putting in an old fashioned Intermission in Avengers: Endgame. Avengers: Infinity War ran 2 hours and 40 minutes which was not too long for fans but it might have been pushing it. Avengers: Endgame is estimated to be over 3 hours long. It has yet to be trimmed.
An intermission is a possibility for Avengers: Endgame. Reports state that test audiences didn’t get up during the Avengers: Endgame. Over three hours is a long time with a bathroom break. An intermission would allow people to get up, stretch their legs, head to the rest room, and visit the concession stands. This could be a win for movie theaters that rely on concession sales.
When I was a kid, all movies had an intermission. This was true at the drive in and at walk in theaters. Movies were shown on reels and had to switch to a second reel. This made for a perfect place for an intermission. As technology advanced, the need for an intermission faded. Now that movies are getting longer again, the need for an intermission may be back for audience.
It will be interesting to see if intermission comes back for Avengers: Endgame and if all theaters will be required to have an intermission. I know I would love an intermission. I believe it will only enhance the viewing pleasure of this movie and future other movies.
Below is a reminder of what we might just see half way through Avengers: Endgame.
