None of the explanations in this topic are relevant if they don't address that "Barbie", "Oppenheimer" and "Super Mario Bros" were all hits last year.
Ticket prices, concession prices, streaming, attention spans, originality (or lack of), home theater setups, length of films... all of these factors were in place last year.
It's probably worth looking at specifically why the marketing for the hits from last year was effective (Barbie marketing particularly was both ubiquitous and highly inventive) versus "Furiosa" and "Fall Guy". Also note that Fall Guy's box office was relatively okay compared to something like "The Lost City" but it's budget was much higher, making it a much tougher financial proposition.
Comcast has thousands of movies on demand. But the list of them they show me is always the most popular, so I just see a handful of them. Other services do this, too, like Netflix.
For crying out loud, Comcast showed me The Lost City as the first one for about 6 months.
Clue: If I don't watch the popular shows you show me month after month after month, show me something from deeper in the catalog! Or even just throw up random ones.
I get your drift, but having just watched Lost City, Pitt definitely is showing his age. I'm guessing tons of makeup, lighting effects, and editing are responsible for his looking younger in other films. Check the trailer @ 2:21 or so -

Don't get me wrong, dude looks amazing for his age, but definitely not 35.

I was watching a new movie yesterday (The Lost City) with closed captioning on. The character said "synonym". The cc text said "cinnamon".
I see a lot of homonyms in the cc, but that one was the funniest.
