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

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?

I thought The Leftovers did a good job with this. The premise is that one day 2% of the world's population just vanishes with no explanation which is not devastating to the population, but the world sort of gradually collapses under the psychological weirdness of the whole thing.
