Why do they always leave out deleted scenes?!
Question: Why do they always leave out deleted scenes!?
I can understand on tv shows they need to limit their time, and I can sort of understand deleting scenes for the theatrical version of films but why don't they put the deleted scenes back in for the DVD releases!? Like they did with Lord of the Rings extended versions!.!.!.!? It makes no sense why they can't put them back in, so why don't they do it!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
my guess would be that when they bring out the first DVD and it doesnt have everything in it, they do it on the extended version or directors cut so that you will go buy it again with all the stuff in it!! they make more money that way!. its sad, but true!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
It depends on why they deleted the scenes!. Often, they delete scenes because they didn't come out right, interrupt the story, or have other issues!. They're not always cut for time!.
There's also one big reason they don't modify the movie -- ratings!. The movie is rated for content as it will be shown on the screen!. Any modifications to the main movie would require the DVD to be released as unrated!. Unrated DVDs won't be sold by mainstream stores and won't go through many rental channels either!. It's usually not worth the cost and effort to have the movie re-rated with the content restored!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Sorry - but the answer to this is a lot simpler than you all are making it!.
Deleted scenes are left out because they are deleted scenes!.
If they are in the movie, you can no longer say they are deleted!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

A number of reasons!.
The movie running too long is probably the major reason!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Often times the deleted scenes were purposely cut because they would have caused the movie to be way too long and/or the scene really detracted from the storyline!. I watched a movie awhile back (A Life Before Her Eyes) and when I watched the deleted scenes, I was glad that they had been deleted!. If shown, they would have spoiled the whole surprise ending!.
If you want to see a movie in which all the deleted scenes were put back in the movie, watch Frighteners!. Peter Jackson chose to put an extra 14 minutes back in the film for it's DVD release!. Honestly, it did nothing to enhance the movie, in my opinion!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I think because when you buy a DVD for a movie that you know was an hour and a half in theatre you expecting it to be a hour and a half with the DVD as well!.
not everyone wasnt to see the full version, some prefer the version they saw in theatre, so if they'll put out in the DVD's only the extended version, some people may not buy it!.
thats why they are bringing out a regular DVD, and an extended version DVD!.
ofc it doesnet hurt them that they make more money that way!.
Edit: for your additional details, i dont know why that is!.!.!.
Edit 2: no the sales wouldn't be the same because some people that want a certain movie purchase the DVD!.!.!. and then there's suddenly an extended version DVD so they wanna have it as well so they buy it too!.
its all about the money in my opinion, otherwise there's no reason why they shouldnt do it the way you said!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

They sometimes delete scenes because they have to, to get an R rating instead of NC-17 (which a lot of companies won't release), sometimes the director chooses to cut a scene because they felt it didn't work when they went to editing, or they might feel the film is running too long and cut what they don't need!. If they cut the film by their own choosing not the MPAA's then they will likely not put the scenes back in since they didn't think the scenes worked for the film!. If the film is cut to get a certain rating they usually do put the scenes back in the dvd and make it unrated!. On most dvds the deleted scenes can be watched with director commentary on and they will explain why they did not want to keep the scene!.
Edit: No idea why the thumbs down here just stating facts, anyway, to answer your new question there are times when I would rather see the film with the deleted scenes replaced (Donnie Darko the placebo pill scene is a good example) but when the director makes the decision that a scene is not working for him then I would rather see the film how he or she wanted me to see not just everything they shot, despite how much I might like those scenes!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

its basically because movie studios feel that a movie will always benefit from being shorter because it means people feel it is less of a commitment to watch it!. for example, people tend to go to the movies on dates or fitting it around other things on the same evening, so a shorter film wouldnt cut into a dinner date or sumthing similar!. thats why studios are always so obsessed with bringing runtimes down!. note how for certain types of films, mainly rom-coms and light comedy, they tend to run about an hour and a half!. other films, such as lord of the rings, are more anticipated event movies, people are going to watch it regardless of the runtime, and so people can dedicate more time to it!. also, with dvd becoming so popular, it allows directors to cut out stuff they feel slows the movie down in the knowledge they can always restore it to the dvd later!. people watch movies differently at home and at the cinema, so directors have to cater to both!. however, if a movie does badly or audiences dont respond well to it, the director can release a directors cut and say that the film was missing stuff that has been restored, and so give the audience a new, better experience!. thats often why classic movies tend not to have extended cuts, as they were already successful, whereas a film such as blade runner or kingdom of heaven, which failed initially, benefits from some scenes being added and things changed, so that the audience can reassess itWww@Enter-QA@Com
