In India, theyre still common because Bollywood movies are usually 2.5 - 3 hours long. In my opinion there was an intermission in Once Upon a Time in America (1984) because there was a traditional practice of having an intermission when showing long and/or high prestige movies.
Edit: though everyone makes good points about early cinema, intermissions were happening into the 80s at the grindhouses. Interstellar director Christopher Nolan, who is a huge fan of the film, supervised the 70mm print version from the original negative with the goal of presenting “2001” to 2018 viewers, “as if they were watching it in 1968, with overture, intermission and exit music.” According to Nerdist, it’s even drawn the attention of the Cannes Film Festival, which will hold a special screening of 2001 at this year’s event with director Christopher Nolan slated to introduce the movie. The end of the double feature was the end of intermission. Pictures is re-releasing the film in a 70mm version at select theaters nationwide on May 18, including the Castro Theater. While this 142-minute mind-bender is always breathtaking on the big screen, the 70mm “unrestored” version, which was taken from the original camera negative, is expected to offer a slightly different take by returning the film as close to the original release as possible-without added digital tricks, remastered effects, or revisionist edits.
