They didn't, that's the standard framerate for motion picture film.
Okay, well, to be totally accurate, 23.976 is the rate at which film is played back to be transferred to NTSC video, which runs 29.976fps. The reason for that is simply that it's easier to generate 6 "new" frames per second than it is to generate 5.976 "new" frames per second. Film is generally natively shot and screened at 24fps.
