Probably so they could include more of the book rather than condensing it down. And also probably to kind of split up the book into different parts

Because they actually do a fair job translating to film. There’s a film edition of Pride and Prejudice that’s 7 hours long because they literally left out NOTHING.

Because if most films are represented and translated the way Peter Jackson makes LOTR and the Hobbit.
We would have a lot better book to film adaptations.
Yes I accept there of differences and new characters etc, it is a pretty decent representation.
Also if you are looking at the average across reading, audio and visual formats, the full unabridged audio versions are 11 hours (approx) long. So if you consider a lot of the discriptive narratives are already there in films. It makes sense to. produce a film that is kind of in between reading and audio speeds.

They also included information from the Silmarillion, it gives a lot of context to things that happen in the background of the story.

They were able to make three films of The Hobbit because they included story information found in the appendices at the end of the Lord of the Rongs. Good question though. I wondered that myself.
