Collider's 15 Movies With the Longest Theatrical Runs in History

"The term theatrical runs refers to the duration of a particular production's showing in movie theaters. Naturally, popular movies usually have longer runs compared to lesser-known and talked-about ones. And even though the average duration of a theatrical run is four weeks, but blockbuster movies tend to have longer runs. Throughout the years, audiences have been graced with tons of number-one hits that had a long stay in theaters to give everyone the chance to view them, with some so iconic that they come back to the big screen every now and again despite being released decades ago, which is the case of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show.' These are some of the longest theatrical runs of all time, ranked by how many weeks they showed in cinemas." - collider.com
