Probably because it's not as important and the cast isn't as famous.

For the studios, eager for Box Office profits, I would've thought all films were equally important.
The Creator doesn't have actors with the same promotional clout as Timothée Chalamet or Zendaya, but - as things stand - it's still likely to end up without having received any promotion at all from its writers or its cast.
Maybe it's just that Disney are more worried about been seen to be reacting to the strikes than Warners Bros. are.

Or when the stars can’t promote it, it’s not a big deal if they are not that famous. And with others gone, the competition is easier. I wouldn’t read into the comparison too much. There are valid arguments in all directions. Each will make a decision that matches their predictions and their projected differences by moving.
