    The average file size of a movie on the iTunes Store is 1 GB to 1.5 GB. However, HD movies are significantly larger. Because of the size, it's recommend that the movies be downloaded using a broadband connection.

    These are only average download speeds, the amount of time it takes to download your purchase will vary according to the file's size and your Internet connection speed.
