I'm not sure what you mean.

If you're talking about the length of the finished movie, the general rule is that on average one page of the script is about one minute of screen time... though with a lot of action it can last longer and a lot of dialogue may be shorter (e.g. my last short was three pages of mostly action and a bit over five minutes on screen, the one before had more dialog and was eight pages and seven minutes).

Yeah. In a feature film you may find the two things equal out, but this isn't always the case.
