People did show up for Flash. The movie wasn't great so the week to week drop off was massive. I think it's more about being served poorly written movies. If the films are of quality it is clear people will go see them. I agree that many types of movies aren't popular in theaters anymore. The streaming battles of 2020-2021 hurt the market and trained people to expect high quality offers on streaming platforms. I think that was a bad move by studios rather than waiting out the storm and it will be a hard road getting back to a more balanced release schedule for theaters.
