I work for a reasonably large cinema company in a central bookings/customer service office. We operate quite a number of cinema complexes in and around the city, all have multiple screens, many of them offer standard and premium cinemas. There are any number of films screening in any number of cinemas at any one time. I had this conversation with a customer the other day that went like this...

Me: Good afternoon welcome to cinema company, how may I help you?

Cust: Can you tell me how long the new Indiana Jones film runs for?

Me: Sure, it's 117 minutes. If you take into account some previews at the beginning it will run for a little over 2 hours.

Cust: So what time will that finish then?

Me: o.O
