"Paramount Steps In to Address Intermission Controversy Surrounding 'Killers of the Flower Moon'"

Some theaters have implemented intermissions during screenings of Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon," which has a runtime of three hours and 26 minutes. However, this violates the domestic licensing agreement, prompting Paramount, the film's distributor, to intervene and shut down the intermissions. Thelma Schoonmaker, the film's editor, expressed her concern over the violation. Scorsese defended the film's length, emphasizing the importance of respecting cinema. "Killers of the Flower Moon" is based on a non-fiction book and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone. It was released in theaters and will later debut on Apple TV+.
