We normally don’t write up articles on the runtimes of upcoming horror movies, but with rumors swirling this week that Paramount and director Parker Finn’s Smile 2 has a runtime of a whopping 2 hours, 12 minutes, we wanted to help clear the air a bit.

Bloody Disgusting has checked in this afternoon and learned that the final runtime for Smile 2 is actually 2 hours, 1 minute + credits, a bit longer than the first film’s 1 hour, 55 minutes.
