running times
How long films last
Running times refers to the duration of films, plays, concerts, or other performances, typically expressed in minutes or hours.
The running times for most blockbusters now exceed two hours.
In computing or athletics, running times may instead indicate how long a program takes to execute or how long it took someone to complete a race.
The phrase nearly always appears in plural form when discussing multiple works or events.
