It: Chapter Two Will Be Nearly 3 Hours Long
It: Chapter Two, the sequel to 2017's Stephen King adaptation of the beloved source material, will reportedly be quite a long journey for our returning Losers. According to director Andy Muschietti, Chapter Two sits at a whopping 165 minutes long, just 15 minutes shy of 3 hours. This is considerably lengthy for modern horror movie standards, as most tend to sit at a comfortable 2 hours - with the exception of the first It, which was 135 minutes, and The Conjuring 2 at 134 minutes.

Muschietti revealed the run time in an interview with Digital Spy, where he confirmed the length of Chapter Two to be 165 minutes. Considering just how content-heavy the novel is, this actually makes a lot of sense. The novel is also 1,138 pages long, so adapting it into a two-parter movie of even 3 hours a piece is quite an undertaking. However, considering how well the first film managed to adapt the first half of the novel, we're looking forward to seeing how Muschietti and his crew balance out the remainder of the book, which arguably has a lot more going on.
As horror films gain more and more traction (well, the good ones, at least), we're seeing filmmakers push the run time a little further. Recently, Hereditary director Ari Aster debuted his new film, Midsommar, which ran for a hefty 147 minutes. This is all done with the intent of fleshing out the story and characters, but in a special case like It: Chapter Two, the additional minutes on the run time is enough to really capture the many complex themes and terrifying story beats that happen to the adult Losers Club. We just recommend you don't drink too much before going in.
It: Chapter Two releases on September 6, 2019.
