Why do audiences like post apocalyptic films

"we as humans like to be right. There is a certain I-told-you-so kind of satisfaction that comes from being right, no matter how terrible the event we were right about. People have been saying for years that certain habits of the human race (coal, gasoline, plastic dolphin-killing rings, etc.) are going to be the downfall of our planet. To see that scenario played out on a screen, be it in a movie, video game, or television show, can be intensely satisfying."

From looking on YOUGOV and other websites and blogs I have concluded that audiences enjoy the idea of the destruction of society and the primal instinct of survival. Because of this I want to include this into my Film opening.
