How long should you plan for?
The theatrical cut runs 119 minutes, listed precisely as 119m 20s. Viewers should treat it as a just-under-two-hour screening before trailers are added.
The UK regulator BBFC classified that cinema 2D version on 9 Oct 2018 and rated it 15 for very strong language and strong sex, according to the BBFC classification listing. The timing matches the 119-minute figure given by the BFI Sight and Sound review.
Do you need to stay through the credits?
No bonus scene plays during or after the credits. The narrative concludes before the crawl begins.
Staying seated earns no additional story material, according to RunPee in its RunPee movie-ending guide. A second endings database independently reports the same result.
Why do some listings show 114 minutes?
Some UK home-entertainment listings show 114m 32s for the 2019 release. That shorter figure reflects PAL-format timing, not a removed scene.
The picture content remains the same theatrical cut. Readers comparing editions should therefore treat 114 minutes and 119 minutes as the same version presented with different timing standards.
Which home version preserves the full cut?
US DVD, Blu-ray and 4K digital releases preserve the 119-minute R-rated cut. Digital arrived 12 Feb 2019, followed by disc on 5 Mar 2019 from 20th Century Fox.
Published disc and digital listings document only that single 119-minute version. No extended or director's-cut edition is shown in those listings.
