release cuts are often decided by marketers and others not involved in the creative project.
they choose what is in or out by "what demographic " is served by this
"will this play to Millennials?" or generation whatever
they also tend to be shorter, to fi in the 90 minutes that distributers feel most comfortable with
"2 hours? who is gonna sit thru that?"

A director's cut,, is just that,
an edit that allows the director and creators of the work, to Show what they intended to be the product.
they come our After the general release cut,, because the "First Money" is already been earned or lost. so the release of a second version is of no harm to the Distributors or the Studio,
and can Only add to the general revenue
the differences are often profound
