Movie end time calculator
Enter the start time and the runtime to see what time the movie ends. Switch to Finish by to find the latest time to press play and still be done by bedtime. Add cinema trailers, skip the end credits or work out a whole binge of episodes.
How long are trailers and credits?
In most cinemas the advertised start time is when the ads begin, and the film itself starts about 15 to 25 minutes later. End credits on a modern feature film run from about 5 to 12 minutes, longer on big effects films, and some films hide an extra scene after them.
How long is a typical movie?
Most feature films run between 90 minutes and 2 hours 30 minutes, and blockbusters have been getting longer. A TV drama episode is usually 40 to 60 minutes, and a sitcom 20 to 30 minutes without ads.

Questions people ask
What time will my movie end?
Add the runtime to the start time. A 2 hour 10 minute film starting at 7:30 PM ends at 9:40 PM, or about 10:00 PM in a cinema once the 20 minutes of trailers are counted.
How long are the previews before a movie?
Usually 15 to 25 minutes of ads and trailers in cinemas, so the film starts well after the listed showtime.
What time should I start a movie to finish by 11 PM?
Choose Finish by, set 11:00 PM and enter the runtime. For a 2 hour 30 minute film, start by 8:30 PM.
How long does it take to binge a season?
Enter the episode length and the number of episodes. Eight 50-minute episodes with 5-minute breaks take 7 hours 15 minutes.
