Like you said, they just have limited screens. Beyond that some studios will only allow theaters to screen their movies if they get a certain number of screenings in premium formats. You can Google how Disney screwed Tarantino out of the Cinerama dome when Star Wars came out

And D&D will be booted out by Mario in a week. It's how studios are spacing out their releases, nothing much that can be done about it.

As much as I like how I get to see these films much earlier at home because of this, am disappointed when it affects the box office of some of my favorites.

They want as many of those premium (priced) seats filled as possible. Having a new film in them every week increases the chances of selling out those more expensive seats consistently.

Yeah, it sucks. There are some big films I've missed out seeing on IMAX because of that.

Am thinking of how Mission Impossible and Oppenheimer are so close together and I just wish they share some days because it's ridiculous to have some of these films in IMAX for just 1 week.

The studio distributors would never go for that. They negotiate with the theater owners. A smaller distributor like Lionsgate will have less bargaining power then a major studio like paramount.
