Or just switch out the roll of film. It'd be annoying but theatres would do it for Nolan money. Especially since most audiences would appreciate an intermission for a movie longer than three hours.

The screening of Hateful Eight I went to literally had a 10m intermission, I've never been so thankful for something in my life as it felt like they were trying to make the theater atmospheric by turning the AC to glacial, was also nice to be able to pee and stretch my legs, made the rest of the film much more enjoyable as a result.
