Some extra info about current listings:
The US Image DVD is 92:44
The US Legend DVD is 91:55.
The Holland RCV DVD is Legend's colorized/B&W version. More info here: https://allesoverfilm.nl/recensies/2914 ... -come/dvd/
The Network DVD's timing is incorrect: it's actually 92:38 (equates to 96:30 at film/NTSC speed).
Can anyone find full specs for this UK DVD? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000NBOZH0 I don't actually own it but know it runs at 89: 00 PAL. It's the only one of the few official DVD and BDs not represented here! Criterion's DVD, identical to their BD, is the only other omission.
Suggested footnotes for both comparison pages:
Essentially, there are two cuts of Things to Come available on home video:
- The ubiquitous US re-release cut (92:44), found on numerous supposedly-public domain DVDs. It's only been released in good quality on one US (Image) and one authorised UK (Granada Ventures) DVD.
- The recently restored US première cut (96:31), issued in the US (Criterion) and UK (Network).
I've just rewritten/created these two Wikipedia sections, which explain it a little more:

Re: Things to Come (1936)
Cannot find any specs on the 2006 Granada DVD through the usual routes.
Updated to state "US theatrical version" and "US re-release version" to differentiate the releases.

Nice work James. Just one error: the Granada Ventures DVD is of the 92:44 re-release cut.
