    So true. I have a theory about why.

    As technology got better, filming and production processes were refined, it allowed us to not only make more, but longer films.

      AFAIK movies were cut to 2 hours long for theatrical releases because longer movies means fewer screenings per day, which means fewer tickets sold. Not sure why they stopped doing thay recently, maybe more people stream at home than go to the cinema?
