I was in my 40's when I saw this movie.  I was more than old enough, however, to drive myself to the theatre in 1978 for the Bakshi animated version of The Lord of the Rings.

I changed the first option to "12 or younger" instead of 10-13. I guess it's not very likely to have been younger than 10, but it's possible.

Well, it is! I think I was 9 when I first saw it (I think it was a year after the release on a DVD). Seriously, I'm not kidding.

Cool. I was 10. :)

So must have been 2003?

@Jessica​   I took my 8 1/2 year old son with me to the theatre to see the movie.  He had read The Hobbit on his own and was excited to see the film.

He loved it, by the way.

@Jessica​ ,

I was 47 and my wife was 46 years old at the time we saw The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001). Our daughters were respectively 17 and 11 years old.
