Does the movie cover more than the first book?

Pretty sure the 3rd hobbit film had to make up most of it, if that counts?

No, it doesn't go into the second book. It also deviates quite a bit at the end, imo for the better

Thanks, just finished the first book, wanted to make sure the movie would spoil the next one!

Given that the movie has some references to rather specific news stories from the past year, yes, there are things not in the book in the movie, and those are some of the best parts.
