The time between the fall of Erebor and The Unexpected Party
|

Is it ever stated in the film how much time has passed between the fall of Erebor and the Unexpected Party?
I know at one point Thorin says Smaug hasn't been seen fort sixty years, but I didn't take that to mean that he and his people had lost their homes that long ago also, just that Smaug hasn't been terrorizing that part of the world for 60 years.
I'm aware that several promotional tie ins have stated that 60 years have passed between Smaug's attack and the dwarves arriving at Bag End, but I always assumed they had misinterpreted the info the filmmakers and the audio were giving them.
Is it possible that the film's timeline is closer to the books and 200 years separate the fall of Erbor and the Quest for Erebor? I'd like to think this is a possibility.
What does everyone here think?

And what happened 400 years ago, anyway?

Storywise, it may matter.

Shouldn't Thorin appear older/greyer then?
