Saw Fellowship on opening night.
For a 3-hour movie at *midnight, the theatre was nearly, if not completely full. The audience consisted of mostly younger kids (teens, 20's) with a handful of those in their 50's and even 60's. And the rest in between. With a few folks dressed up in cosplay gear.
Have seen the movie many times over since then, but I'll never forget the part at the end where one girl quite genuinely surprised, shouted out as the credits started rolling "no way!".
So wrapped up in the story that she forgot this was part 1 of a trilogy. And it ended pretty much where the books left off.
* I know I saw the other two movies on opening day, but weirdly I can’t remember if I saw them at midnight as well. Pretty sure I did. However, when The Hobbit came out, I did not give it that level of commitment. Never seen The Battle of the 5 Armies. Not in theatre or tv.

The musical score to the movies is outstanding.

Caught each one opening day - matinee showing, with my father and mother (who had been divorced about 25 years at that point). A nice memory.
Hooked in the 70s and read LOTR once a year for about 20 years straight.

Loved the movies, but still pissed off about no Tom Bombadil.

We saw it opening weekend. When credits rolled, a guy a row ahead of us shouted "What the frick?!?" Everyone in the theater laughed.
He turned to his wife/girlfriend and said "I have to wait for the next movie to see what happens?"
