>>118051239tv audiences for DC shows have been in the very low millions even at peak but in that same period some shows, even comic book shows, have managed tens of millions of viewers
for a movie to succeed it needs to have at a minimum low tens of millions of tickets sold in the domestic market and usually an equal amount of money from the rest of the world which is what makes large markets with poorly established cinematographic traditions (ie China) so attractive for studios but obviously brings with it its own challenges (not that the Chinese don't like t&a, because they do, just that they've begun making their own t&a movies domestically, which seems impressive given they were basically feudal 20 years ago but then you remember that's how Hollywood started out, with the first silent movies being made within a few decades of the same region being literally the wild west)
eg the noted 2011 flop Green Lantern made about 7 million domestic ticket sales (at that year's average ticket price) and struggled to make as much worldwide as it had spent on its budget, let along marketing or distribution, so for a tv show aesthetic, even though you might be spending a couple of million an hour, you'll easily make that back on tv advertising, whereas a movie spending tens of millions per hour has ticket sales and merch to support it and can't afford to be so niche
