thing is going from 2 films to 3

how much more money do they really need for a few months of shooting? Compared to the profit margin that WB expects to rake in from each film. Going from 2 films to 3 raises the money revenue by 1/3.... I'm sure the amount they shell out is merely a drop in the bucket in comparison. And who's idea was it really to split the films into 3 from 2? Sounds more like a WB thing than Peter Jackson IMO. And since none of us were a fly on the wall in those meetings we have simply to rely on their word about who wanted what. I'm hoping for longer films but something is telling me we are going to get films just at or just over 2 hours in length with EE somewhere between 2 and 1/2 and 2:45. Which is where I honestly hoped the theatrical version would be. I'm not a fan of all the mass market profit making mentality but fact is that's part of today's society. How much junk can they use to promote something, for good or bad
