For a theater, yes. But for home video, where people can and often do watch movies in chunks anyway, length doesn't matter as much.
I'd love it if he just dropped it as two films, released a month apart. That would drive people to see the first part so that they can be caught up for part two.
Unfortunately that likely wouldn't work great. The only people that would be interested in watching part 2 are the people that watched (and liked) part 1. And business is often a numbers game
That's fair. But presumably the same number of people would watch part 1 as would watch the whole thing. And maybe even more, because of the lower time commitment.
