Why are there so few movies with the focus on the beginning of an apocalypse? (lemmy.world)

Particularly zombie apocalypse, but also more generally as well. Many seem to be about post-apocalypse, but the chaos and confusion at the beginning seems like such a fruitful idea. Yet that’s so rarely done/done well as far as I know for zombie movie/shows, except for shows like Dead Set UK. Is it because of the budget, or that such shows/movies cannot be milked forever like TWD?

This applies to most media, not only movies. My favorite part of The Stand by Stephen King was the gradual transition of civilized society to chaos in the beginning of the pandemic.
