Not to mention the "Edited for content and to run in the time 
allotted"...  Especially when the movie isn't very 
network-friendly--lots of editing out happens then, at least here in the 
US.  I once watched such a movie with more content cut than commercial 
breaks added, so it was a good 20min shorter, even with commercials, 
than IMDB's listed runtime (and it was actually good that way, 
too--which makes me wonder if the rest was just gratuitous content).
