Why doesn't that success at the movies translate to success in comics? Why are comics still hemorrhaging readers at a rapid pace? There are probably a few reasons, but I think a major one is comics' dizzyingly complex continuity. Like you said, it's super intimidating.

Because the same people that go and watch a big budget summer blockbuster arent necessarily the same people that sit down and read comic books.

Comics always were and always will be a niche market. Look at stuff like IDW or Image Comics. They mostly have books with very little or no continuity but have alot less readers than Marvel or DC. So just because they have a rich history of events and characters doesnt mean people are "afraid" of getting into comics. People that really wanna read comics do regardless of 60+ years of continuity.
