Disagree. The trilogy has an extended arc, yes, but each movie also has an arc (or more). So it’s still not REALLY one 10h ish movie.
Interestingly, the end of fellowship doesn’t really match the end of a major arc to me. You can argue it’s the break of the fellowship, but I think the stronger arc in fellowship is the arrival at rivendell.
The end of fellowship DOES coincide with the beginning of several minor arcs though which I guess is the point.
