Now that we have a glut of CBMs, we can pick and choose--and thus we become pickier and choosier. Also because there's a glut, standards raise and competition becomes more fierce.
Why go watch Thor 2 when I can watch Suicide Squad instead? Or why would you go watch Man of Steel 2 when you can watch Black Panther instead?
Soon, very soon, there will be a consolidation. Probably after Marvel Phase 3 completes and the first one or two Justice League movies hit the big screen.
Studios will focus on making fewer better movies that have a better success rate... it can't keep going like this. Marvel, at least, has definitely improved their game of late. WB/DC needs to find its footing pretty soon. And Fox... sigh.

We, DC is 0/3 at this point, they either need to seriously rethink their approach, or just drop it all together.
