Planning - Trailer length

I have looked at some professional trailers and here are the times that they are on for:

Green Street - 1 Minutes 54 Secs

Doghouse - 1 Minutes 26 Secs

This is England - 2 Minutes 26 Secs

Shifty - 1 Minute 49 Secs

Harry Brown - 1 Minute 46 Secs

The average trailer length from all these films is just over 112 seconds, which is 1 minute 52 seconds. I think this time is about right and i am aiming my trailer to be around 1 minute 30 seconds - 2 minutes.

I believe it is better to have your trailer too short than long because i think that if your trailer is too long then it may start to bore the audience, whereas if it is short it may leave the audience wanting to see more.
