Luckily, I was the dork who went to the midnight premiere, so I didn't have to deal with "six year old(s) screaming or crying about things", just giddy young adults. But when I went to see it again with a group of friends the following evening, we sat through a 7pm Friday night show, which was a major mistake for the reason you cited. One child next to me freaked out on at least two occasions (one involving Judith, the other involving Carol) and he kept talking to the film.
As far as whether the movie should be shown only to those over 16 years of age, I don't have much of an opinion one way or the other. I just know that I would not take my own kids (if I had any) to see it, because I had an overactive imagination as a child and assume my own children would as well.

It's just my experience in seeing movies usually end badly. There are always a few young children who are a little too young to be seeing the movie who end up screaming, crying, or talking at incredibly loud volumes throughout the film. And they're normally right next to me. When I went to see the latest Harry Potter (I mostly saw it just to see WTWTA advert beforehand) there was a six year old boy next to me who kicked his feet, ultimately kicking my leg a lot of the movie. And don't get me started on his reaction in the cave when those water zombie things came out of the water. Such joy!
I can already imagine the really little viewers’ reactions to scenes such as Carol ripping Douglas' arm out. And really, Judith? What did she do that caused such a reaction? Throw Alexander?
Either way I'm glad I'll get to watch WTWTA in comfort, with those large folding chairs, meals brought to me throughout the movie and no screaming children/chattering teenagers/chair kicking in sight. I can't wait till Thursday.
Dude, Judith got REAL creepy during the scene where Max mocks her. She throws a tantrum at him and then he throws one back at her. And she says something like, "If I wanted to eat you, you'd have to say, 'Okay, Judith, you can eat me.' Because you're our king and that's what you're supposed to do!" She had her eyes narrowed during that entire scene. Hell, I was a little apprehensive myself and I'm 24! LOL
Ahh! When she asks if she can be his favorite color and he gets all touchy with a 'ha ha ha' and it just goes back and forth until, as you said, she tells him off for getting mad at her and how he should do whatever they want to make them happy. Including eating him.
I think that's a great idea. ..Well, it sucks that the tickets are so expensive, but omg, NO LITTLE KIDS YAY. When I saw WTWTA, a stupid baby kept crying x.x It sucked. And I'm sure the babies didn't appreciate Carol's flipping out, either.
ONLY in Gold Class? That sucks, it's nice to have a choice.
I saw it last night in Perth on cheap-ass Tuesday ($10 tickets). There were a few younger kids in the audience but none so young as to be screaming and crying thank God.
One of them did talk a bit (6-8 year old girl), but her comments were hillarious!
