While a film reel can be 10-15 minutes, most are 20-22 minutes, and run about 6 reels. Shorter animated movies and comedies might only run 5. In fact, during the three years I was a projectionist, the only movies I can think of that ran over 6 reels were "Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix" at 7, "Kingdom of Heaven" at 8, and Peter Jackson's "King Kong" at 9. Ooops, should have added great post! Waiting for the next one! Interesting article, but I just wanted to clear something up.
