About this converter
Fox lists an official theatrical runtime for every Alien film, repeated by the BBFC in classification listings. The scale runs from the 109 minute Resurrection to the 137 minute Aliens. Scott entries bookend the line while Cameron and Fincher fill the middle. This table keeps seven theatrical features with credits included, as published by Fox and the BBFC.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Alien 3 against Aliens to feel the 23 minute gap. Switch to hours for a friendlier reading of long films.
Runtimes count the full theatrical presentation including credits. Director cuts such as the Assembly Cut of Alien 3 run longer and are left out. The Alien vs Predator crossovers sit in a separate line. One or two minutes of drift between sources reflects credit roll rounding. Aliens at 137 minutes tops the table, with Prometheus next at 124. Resurrection at 109 is the shortest entry here. Covenant at 122 bridges the middle.
