Zack Snyder's Justice League, at 242 minutes, is frequently folded into totals for this franchise and should not be — it was a streaming release, not a theatrical one, and it replaces rather than adds to the 2017 theatrical cut. Including it would add four hours to the figure. The theatrical Justice League runs 120 minutes, so the two versions of the same film differ by more than two hours. ## The numbers - **Total:** 33 hours 15 minutes - **In hours:** 33.3 hours - **Non-stop:** 1.4 days without sleeping - **Covers:** 15 films, Man of Steel to Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom - **At a realistic pace:** a film a night - **That works out as:** about 15 days ## What this assumes Fifteen theatrical films at their theatrical running times.
