Turning a movie after 10 minutes is fairly uncommon though. People usually commit to watching the whole thing once they've picked a movie, even if they end up playing on their phones. Not saying that it does not happen, just that it's fairly rare.
- jobigoud 5y agoMany Hollywood-type movies are pretty formulaic and start with the backstory of the hero, what is their daily life, before the first inflection point at eround 20-25%, the big event that forces the start of the hero's journey. I would imagine many people stop during this first act or during the last one when you can tell how everything is going to be tied together.
- mattowen_uk 5y agoBut that is the whole point of a 'hollywood type' movie. It's pure escapism for 90+ minutes, even if you can guess early on how it's going to play out. For people who don't like these type of movies, there are plenty of other 'films' (not movies) out there, that cater for the times when something popcorny isn't what you want. With Red Notice, it's clear from the stills/trailer that it's a simple actioner, you are going to know if that's your thing even before you press play.
- watwut 5y agoThis is not true in my experience. Movie fanatics watch everything in full, other people turn stuff off.
- krisoft 5y agoDo you have statistics on that or you are speculating from your own experience? If the second I would say I’m very likely to turn off movies at 10 minutes in. That is the point where I realise that a movie is not what I imagined it to be, or that I’m not feeling like watching something after all. That being said maybe I’m the odd one out so I can’t say what masses of people actually do.
- bgandrew 5y agoNot true for netflix movies though. Most of them are really unwatchable.
