Feig's first cut was 3 hours and 30 minutes, but that is the way editing goes. The assembly cut is literally just every bit of footage in the movie where it's supposed to go, so that would probably include redundant scenes or gags where the same information is covered in a different way on a different take. So I assume Feig's first cut is that, but without any redundancies, with the scenes at least partially cut into something resembling a scene in a movie. That doesn't mean it was something Feig would've called completed or that he "wanted" to release it. I'm sure he always intended on making a movie between 100 and 140 minutes long.We do know the first assembly cut of the movie, done by the editor, was 4 hours and 15 minutes. Feig's first cut was 3 hours and 30 minutes. The extended cut is 2 hours and 13 minutes.That only reinforces a point I've had for a while about the American film industry needing to bring back this kind of showing of event movies like Answer The Call which would allow for a longer cut of a film like the 3 hour and 30 minute cut Feig wanted to release.
Based on the screening being 3 pm followed by a Q&A then the party at 6. It sounds like they are showing the extended cut then doing 30-45 min. or so of Q&A then some set up for the cocktail party.
