The Revenant (2015), Alejandro G. Iñárritu's frontier survival drama, runs 156 minutes, or 2 hours 36 minutes.
It has no extra scene during or after the credits, and home releases offer the same single cut on Digital HD, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD. Plan for nearly three hours with trailers. The film is rated R in the US for strong frontier combat and violence including gory images, a sexual assault, language and brief nudity, so it suits adult viewers.

How Long Is the Film?
The theatrical running time is 156 minutes. The British Film Institute lists the film at 156 minutes, or 2 hours 36 minutes, on its film page.
The regulator BBFC classifies the 2015 cinema version at 156m 10s and rounds it to about 156m. That precise timing confirms 156 minutes as the number to plan around, according to the BBFC classification entry.
Do You Need to Stay for the Credits?
The end-credits roll runs about 10 minutes. It contains extra ambient audio only at the very beginning, with no stinger or extra scene after the credits finish, according to MediaStinger on its after-the-credits page.
You can leave when the credits start. The film has no extra scene during or after the credits, so staying adds only names and music.
