Editing Entertainment: Length Constraints, Consumption Experiences and Motion Pictures
We examine when product length constraints diminish the quality of entertainment experiences. When filmmakers lack enough good scenes to reach a 90-minute minimum requirement, for example, they will keep bad scenes to reach the constraint. Consistent with this conjecture, we find that poorly-rated Hollywood movies are about 90 minutes long.
