Who cares what the title is saying?!

Is The Silence of the Lambs about quiet lambs? Is The Two Towers about two towers?! What about Signs? Casino Royale? The Island? Vertigo?! I'm pretty sure The Lord of the Rings isn't about Sauron, although that's what the title - if taken at face value - would suggest. This could go on and on.

Movie titles are a marketing tool. Its up to the movie itself to tell you what's it about.

It took no more than watching the prologue to An Unexpected Journey to understand that this was going to be about Thorin's journey, as a character.
