They are also showing movies people don't want to see because they have contracts with the studios who are doing nonsense with the numbers to move money around on their books. Madame web was a great example, it was in theaters for months, and being heavily advertised, and no one was going. At the time I thought it was Sony trying to ruin Marvel's reputation, but it makes more sense that they needed a loss on the books, and most of the money they spent went to companies they had a piece of. Meanwhile, you have movies that are in and out in a single weekend that go on to become cult classics because they never had a chance.
