How long do marvel movies stay in theaters Australia

I wasn't able to see Guardians of the Galaxy 2 in theaters. It seems the movie will be out on amazon video on August 8th. But that will be 1 month spider-man has already been out for. Is it safe for me to wait until then to watching guardians and then try and see spider-man in theaters. Or should I just see Spider-man before guardians?

Thor is still in theaters. I live in Philly.

Hell, Get Out was still in theaters for the majority of 2017. If the film is doing good business it won't be removed, especially if it's doing better than more recent releases.

Depends on the type of theaters.

You can find some movies for quite a while at second run theaters.

Thinking is overrated. Like Pants.

Haven't heard of any movie lasting more than 3-4 months here

Well it's not uncommon. You can even look at the weekend box office and see films from last fall still making money from theaters.

The number of theaters obviously diminish, but they're still somewhere.

Ever since Disney+ entered the playing field, we’ve been spoiled for choice with Marvel content. The streaming service’s arrival also offers many a chance to go through an entire MCU rewatch, with nearly all the films and series conveniently in one place. If you’re considering taking on one of these rewatches yourself, you may wonder how long it will take.

We’re here to get the maths out of the way for you. Let’s figure out just how long it takes to watch every Marvel movie and series.

What is the runtime of every movie and series?

  • The Incredible Hulk – 112 minutes
  • Iron Man 2 – 124 minutes
  • Thor – 115 minutes
  • Captain America: The First Avenger – 124 minutes

How long does it take to binge-watch all of the MCU?

How long do marvel movies stay in theaters Australia

The Marvel Cinematic Universe currently stands at 34 different titles, with many more on the way. Be prepared, this is not a binge-watch to take lightly.

By my calculations, the total of all the above runtimes adds up to be: 5,957 minutes. 

That’s about 99 hours of Marvel movies and TV series to watch. Watching them back to back with no breaks would take 4 days.

That’s a whole lot of Marvel.

Dozens more projects will soon be added to this list, including She-Hulk and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in 2022. So make sure you’re up to date before those come out!

If you need help finding where to stream all these MCU projects, we’ve got a guide that will help you. As for which movie is the best? That’s a different debate.

What about other Marvel projects?

With Disney reacquiring the rights to many of the projects under the Marvel Studios umbrella, a lot of titles are suddenly in the same realm as the MCU, although many aren’t considered “canon” just yet.

If you want to watch everything Marvel, we’ve broken down some more runtimes below.

The Defenders Saga

  • Daredevil – (39 episodes) 2099 minutes
  • Jessica Jones – (39 episodes) 2029 minutes
  • Luke Cage – (26 episodes) 1467 minutes
  • Iron Fist – (23 episodes) 1252 minutes
  • The Defenders – (8 episodes) 400 minutes
  • The Punisher – (26 episodes) 1384 minutes

The total time to watch The Defenders saga comes out at 8631 minutes, which is roughly 144 hours. That’s more than the entire MCU!

If you need the proper watch order for these (ex) Marvel Netflix series, you can find that here.

Agents of SHIELD

I can’t believe I lost so much of my life figuring this out, but here it is, the runtimes for all of Agents of SHIELD:

  • Agents of SHIELD season 1 – (22 episodes) 978 minutes
  • Agents of SHIELD season 2 – (22 episodes) 983 minutes
  • Agents of SHIELD season 3 – (22 episodes) 981 minutes
  • Agents of SHIELD season 4 – (22 episodes) 977 minutes
  • Agents of SHIELD season 5 – (22 episodes) 975 minutes
  • Agents of SHIELD season 6 – (13 episodes) 576 minutes
  • Agents of SHIELD season 7 – (13 episodes) 573 minutes

In total, that comes to 6043 minutes which is roughly 101 hours.

Agent Carter

Let’s not forget Agent Carter, featuring Hayley Atwell as her character Peggy Carter from the Captain America movies. There were only two seasons of this one which come out at:

  • Agent Carter season 1 – (8 episodes) 349 minutes
  • Agent Carter season 2 – (10 episodes) 445 minutes

The total watch time for this one is a more manageable 794 minutes or just over 13 hours.

We’ll continue adding to this list as more Marvel projects are released, so keep checking for updated runtimes.

Until then, enjoy your Marvel movie and TV show binge-watch!
