wolf_of_wallstreetMartin Scorsese’s “The Wolf Of Wall Street” will hit theaters this year.

As The Hollywood Reporter revealed on Monday night, Paramount has officially set Scorsese’s new film for release on Dec. 25, a shift from its original Nov. 15 bow…

Scorsese’s first cut of “The Wolf Of Wall Street” clocked in at 180 minutes in length; the theatrical cut will be 165 minutes…

While 165 minutes sounds long, it’s really not: Last Christmas, “Les Miserables” and “Django Unchained” grossed a combined $867 million at the global box office, this despite running times that eclipsed 158 minutes. For Scorsese, 165 minutes is relatively par for the course: “The Departed” was 151 minutes, while “Goodfellas” was 146 minutes.
