Forgive me as I might be getting old and my memory may be faulty, but wasn't
The Hobbit a short little book that could have nicely been done in one movie? No need for a miniseries of it.

If you just check what kind of films are the blockbusters and bring in the most revenue... Now there sure are exceptions to that, but they are insecure aka. they can't be predicted. So when you are basically just making money (instead of art) you take the more safer road and rely on action and advertising.

See, the real problem is that those "desired audiences" just have way too much disposable income compared to the rest of us.
