Having lived in Japan for 10 years with my 11th coming up I have some perspective. I have seen almost every single marvel film that came to theaters here and it was always a packed house. However, I think the fact that the pandemic has scared people away from movie theaters has something to do with it. That, as well as, the fact more and more films have been released only via streaming here (I didn't even see it advertised as being available to watch at the theater). For me it is hard to get interested in a film that I couldn't have enjoyed in the theater and have to settle for the streamed version that I only knew about because of some ad I saw on YouTube or a google search. Plus, I think there is still the fact that movies have gotten more and more cookie-cutter to appeal to everyone with the obvious chain of development. When everything tastes the same and nothing sticks out, why would I care for it except to say I watched it?
