Do audiences really want visually effects driven films? Or do they go see it because it's all that's shown to them in cinemas?
Social value - audience. Go to see blockbusters, go there for the special effects as they are mass advertised through merchandising (McDonald's toys etc), and the only films played by cinemas are blockbusters.
Visual effects make people want to go to cinema over watching it at home as well as it stops piracy, as visual effects aren't as good when viewed illegally
The more a movie spends on marketing, the more people are gonna go and see it as it's presented as "in cinemas" and thus, is readily available.
