The pattern I see in these, Marvel, DC, Hasbro, etc, is that they hit the theaters like a nuclear explosion and are quickly done and gone. More so than other subject matter. Maybe I'm wrong, but if you don't catch these within a week, then you've lost most of your chance for a big screen viewing. They make their megabucks in quick fashion or they don't pay for themselves. It must cost a fortune to just roll the credits at the ends of these.

Just speculation on my part.
