The feature without credits runs about 115 minutes. The same guide reports no extras during the credits and no post-credits stinger. Theater and home viewers can stop when credits start without missing a scene.
What rating and release dates apply?
The Numbers reports Lionsgate released Sicario in limited U.S. theaters September 18, 2015 and wide October 2, 2015.
