A number of cinemas around the world have instated their own intermission for Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, which has been met with disapproval from the movie's distributor, Paramount, and its international partners. This is because the domestic licensing agreement for the film stipulates that it should not be broken up into parts, and thus these intermissions have been removed. Thelma Schoonmaker, the acclaimed editor who has been working with Scorsese since the 1960s, was made aware of the issue and has since expressed her disapproval. Scorsese himself has also defended the movie's runtime, saying that it should be respected as much as any other form of entertainment.

The movie, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone, is based on the non-fiction book of the same name by David Grann and is set in Oklahoma in the 1920s. It tells the story of the Osage people and how they were systematically murdered after oil was found on their land. It was released on October 20th, and will be coming to Apple TV+ at an unspecified date.
