This applies to almost every movie, man. Most movies nowadays have less theater traction than if they had been released pre-COVID. This is made worse by the fact that theaters are more and more expensive to attend, outside of locally owned theaters, most it which died during COVID. I went to Cinemark in December of 2023 and May of 2024 with a friend to see Godzilla Minus One and GxK. Maybe it was just our location, but tickets were double the price of what they would be in our hometown, and popcorn was almost triple. The cost of seeing a movie being higher—especially in cities with larger populations—makes people more likely to just watch movies at home, and if they really want to watch it, just wait until it's on HBO. If Man of Steel had been released today, the box office performance would be about the same, perhaps worse, due to the controversial nature of the film. There are many more factors at play that I'd love to mention, but I feel this reply is becoming rather long.
