"Common wisdom" in the LOTR movies was that
the movies wouldn't go beyond 2 1/2 hours soell the introduction
theaters could have more showings, but PJ did
surpass that. I'd hope for 3 hours but 2 1/4 to 2 1/2
seems more likely. Given how well the introduction to FOTR
worked, what about some sort of intro to give the general
middle earth situation at the time? Essentially Erebor
and Rhovannion, with particular attention to Mirkwood in
general and Dol Guldur in particular.
