The hobbit films being a mess were entirely the fault of new line.
The preproduction of LOTR was in the range of 2 years. That’s hammering out the script, but also locations, sets, securing extras, apparently all of the horses in NZ for some of the shots but also all of the costumes and armor.
All of those preproduction things were allowed in the range of 6 weeks(as opposed to over 100) for the Hobbit, and New Line refused to budge at all.
